19001717 The Urinalysis (Urine Chemistry) test is a routine examination of urine that helps check for a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infection, kidney disease, and diabetes. It involves several checks, including the appearance, concentration, and content of urine. Specific tests within a urinalysis can analyze levels of substances like proteins, glucose, ketones, hemoglobin, bilirubin, urobilinogen, and indicators of infection or crystals that form kidney stones. The test can also measure pH levels and the concentration of the urine (specific gravity), which provides signs about the body’s hydration status and kidney health. Essentially, a urinalysis is a key tool for monitoring the body's overall health, detecting disorders, and guiding treatment decisions.
**Note to PSC nurses & CS team:**
Urine protein results may vary between methods due to differences in sensitivity and methodology, 50556-0: Urinalysis (Urine Chemistry) uses the Benzethonium chloride method, while 2888-6: Total Protein [Urine] relies on protein error of pH indicators. These methodologies can yield different results, especially at low concentrations.
