Urinalysis

Urinalysis is a test that is performed in a laboratory to assist a doctor in detecting abnormalities that are manifested in the urine. The way the body removes waste and pollutants is affected by a variety of illnesses and ailments. Any of these issues can have an impact on the look, concentration, and substance of a urine sample. Urinalysis is important prior to surgery, as a preemptive screening during a pregnancy checkup and as part of a routine medical or physical examination. It can also be used to confirm or rule out certain conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease, and urinary tract infection
