What is a urinalysis Test?

A urinalysis test examines a urine sample to check for signs of health issues or dysfunction. It is also used to monitor ongoing medical conditions.

Urine is produced by the kidneys as they filter waste products, urea, and excess water from the blood. It travels through the ureters to the bladder before being eliminated.

By analysing the colour, appearance, concentration and content of urine, a urinalysis can provide valuable insights into kidney function, liver health, infection risk, and overall wellbeing.

The test uses visual, chemical and microscopic analysis to give a comprehensive view of your health.
