. This test is performed to identify and diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other urinary abnormalities.
. The urine sediment test is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the solid particles (sediment) found in urine, which can provide valuable insights into kidney function and urinary tract health.
. This test is often performed to identify the presence of abnormal cells, crystals, bacteria, casts, or other substances that may indicate conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or bladder disorders.

The Beta-2-Microglobulin [Urine] test measures the amount of Beta-2-Microglobulin protein in urine. Beta-2-Microglobulin is found on the surface of most cells in the body, especially lymphocytes. This test is used to assess kidney function, monitor patients with lymphoma or multiple myeloma. High levels of Beta-2-Microglobulin in urine may indicate kidney problems, blood cancer, or other medical conditions. The test results will be evaluated by a doctor in conjunction with other tests and examinations for diagnosis and treatment.

A 24-hour urine test for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) or Serotonin measures the amount of serotonin in your body by measuring the amount of 5-HIAA in your urine
A doctor may order this test to diagnose or monitor neuroendocrine tumors, which can secrete serotonin. Carcinoid tumors, which can occur in the lungs, intestinal tract, appendix, and other tissues, can cause higher levels of 5-HIAA in your urine.
