A urinalysis, also known as a Urine Routine Examination, is a simple and non-invasive test that analyzes a urine sample for various substances. It's a common tool used by healthcare professionals to screen for and monitor a range of health conditions, including:
- Renal damage: By detecting abnormalities like protein or blood in the urine, a urinalysis can indicate potential problems with the kidneys.
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs): The presence of white blood cells or bacteria in the urine can suggest a UTI.
- Diabetes: High levels of glucose (sugar) in the urine can be a sign of poorly controlled diabetes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Screens for various health conditions, including:
- Kidney problems: The presence of red blood cells (hematuria) can indicate kidney stones or other issues.
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs): White blood cells (pyuria) suggest a possible UTI.
- Kidney inflammation: Eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, might be elevated in some inflammatory kidney diseases.
- Monitors existing health conditions like diabetes by checking for glucose (sugar) levels.
People experiencing symptoms that might indicate a urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney disease, or diabetes. These symptoms can include:
- Frequent urination
- Pain or burning sensation during urination
- Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
- Blood in the urine (hematuria)

A routine urine examination, also called a urinalysis, measures several things about your urine to assess your overall health and detect potential problems. Here's a breakdown of what it typically measures:
- Appearance: This includes the color, clarity, and concentration of your urine. Cloudiness can indicate infection, while dark yellow or concentrated urine can suggest dehydration.
- Chemical composition: The test checks for the presence and levels of various chemicals in your urine, such as:
- Glucose: High levels of glucose might suggest uncontrolled diabetes.
- Protein: Excess protein can be a sign of kidney damage.
- Blood: The presence of red blood cells (hematuria) can indicate kidney stones, infections, or other problems.
- pH level: This measures how acidic or alkaline your urine is. Abnormal pH levels can be associated with various conditions.
- Microscopic analysis: The urine sample is examined under a microscope to look for the presence and quantity of:
- Red blood cells (RBCs): As mentioned earlier, RBCs can indicate problems in the urinary tract or kidneys.
- White blood cells (WBCs): Elevated WBCs are a sign of possible infection, often a UTI.
- Other cells: The presence of other cells, like epithelial cells or casts, can provide clues about the location and nature of any underlying issues.
This test requires a urine sample. Patient will be explained how to collect mid-stream urine sample in a sterile container.
Following are general guidelines and specific thresholds for abnormality might vary depending on the lab. A single abnormal finding doesn't necessarily mean a serious problem. Your doctor will interpret the results in context with your symptoms and medical history.
Substance | Normal Result | Abnormal Result (Present) | Possible Indication |
---|---|---|---|
Appearance (Color/Clarity) | Varies - Generally clear or light yellow | Cloudy, dark yellow, reddish, brownish | Dehydration, infection, bleeding, other conditions |
Glucose | Absent | Present | Diabetes (poorly controlled) |
Protein | Small amounts | Large amounts | Kidney damage, inflammation, other conditions |
Blood (Red Blood Cells) | Absent | Present (Hematuria) | Kidney stones, infection, inflammation, injury, other conditions |
pH level | Varies slightly (acidic or slightly alkaline) | Very acidic or very alkaline | Infection, dehydration, metabolic disorders |
White Blood Cells (WBCs) | Small amounts | Large amounts (Pyuria) | Infection (often UTI) |
Other Cells | Few epithelial cells | Many epithelial cells, casts | Inflammation, infection, kidney disease |
