DESCRIPTION:
The Urinalysis can determine a number of health problems. It will see if your kidneys are functioning normally, if sugar is present in your urine, if you’re burning fat or if you have a urinary tract infection. In addition, it can locate substances that may be causing everything from metabolic problems to kidney disorders. Some doctors request a Urinalysis before surgery or during the early stages of pregnancy.
WHY DO I NEED A URINALYSIS?
A Urinalysis should be considered if you’re experiencing back pain, abdominal pain, blood in the urine, painful urination or frequent urination. These symptoms can be signs of more problematic health concerns such as urinary tract infections or organ failure in people with kidney disease.
OTHER RELEVANT TESTS:
Customers who purchase the Urinalysis should also consider the Basic Check‐Up, Comprehensive Male Panel or the Comprehensive Female Panel.
