Understanding the test
What does the Urine Analysis measure?
Also called Urinalysis (Routine)
A clinician may request urinalysis for urinary symptoms, unexpected blood or protein, or a kidney or metabolic concern. The chemical and microscopic parts complement each other.
When it may be requested
Looking at several urine characteristics
A urinalysis may reveal patterns involving protein, blood, inflammatory cells or other findings.
Choosing a next investigation
Symptoms and collection quality help guide whether a culture or a more specific kidney test is needed.

Before your sample
Prepare for collection
SpecimenUrine
Your checklist
A first-morning clean midstream specimen is preferred. Confirm how promptly to return it and tell the team about menstruation or recent urinary symptoms.
Use the collection container and instructions supplied for this order. The sampling method depends on the test, so confirm the instructions before collecting at home.

Reading your result
An abnormal finding directs further work-up rather than identifying the cause on its own. For example, signs of inflammation may need culture, while protein may need quantification.
What can affect it
- An abnormal urinalysis is not by itself a confirmed urinary infection.

Patient questions
Before you book
Does urinalysis identify the antibiotic I need?
No. A urine culture and susceptibility test may be needed to identify a cause of infection and guide antibiotic selection.
Why is a first-morning urine sample best?
First-morning urine has collected in the bladder overnight, so it is the most concentrated and shows abnormalities most clearly. It should still reach the laboratory promptly, because urine left standing changes chemically and its cells break down. Wash first, pass the first part of the stream into the toilet, then fill the container without touching the inside.
What does protein in my urine mean?
Protein in urine can be a sign that the kidneys are leaking protein, which is one reason urinalysis is used to screen for and monitor kidney disease. A single strip reading can mislead, though: vigorous exercise beforehand, a very concentrated sample and contamination can all affect it. A persistent finding is usually confirmed by measuring the amount of protein rather than acted on from one test.
