Urinalysis (Urine Chemistry)

. The urinalysis test is a routine examination of urine used to evaluate a wide range of conditions, including urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, diabetes, and more.
. This test is a valuable tool for assessing overall health, detecting abnormalities, and guiding treatment decisions. It examines various aspects of urine, such as appearance, concentration, and composition.
. Specific components analyzed during the test include proteins, glucose, ketones, hemoglobin, bilirubin, urobilinogen, and markers of infection. Additionally, the test measures pH levels and urine concentration (specific gravity), providing insights into hydration status and kidney function.

**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.

  • General Urine Analysis

Patient Instructions:
. The First-morning Urine Sample is preferred for the highest concentration of the sediment elements, if not possible, ensure the urine is collected after holding it in the bladder for at least 2–3 hours.
. Collect a Clean Catch Midstream urine sample using the following steps:
1. Wash your hands with soap and water.
2. Clean the genital area.
3. Start urinating into the toilet, pause, then move the collection container into the urine stream without touching the inside of the container.
4. Once the appropriate amount is collected, move the container out of the urine stream, tightly close it, and you can finish urinating in the toilet.
. Deliver the sample to the lab immediately after collection.
If delayed, store the sample in a cool place or refrigerate it (up to 2 hours) until submission.
. For women: Avoid urine collection during menstruation to prevent contamination with blood.
. Avoid foods that may alter urine color (e.g., beets or carrots and stop certain medications (e.g., vitamin C supplements, diuretics), for 24-48 hours before collection, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
