General urinalysis (without sediment examination)

We remind you that independent interpretation of the results is unacceptable, the information provided below is for reference purposes only.

Biochemical urinalysis is a laboratory test used to evaluate the concentration of various biochemical substances in urine and to assess the functional status of body organs and systems, particularly kidney function and metabolic processes.

The test includes measurement of biochemical urine parameters without microscopic examination of urinary sediment. It is used to assess metabolism, renal function, and detect metabolic and fluid-electrolyte balance disorders.

Indications

• evaluation of kidney function
• diagnosis of metabolic disorders
• assessment of urinary system diseases
• monitoring chronic conditions
• evaluation of treatment effectiveness
• preventive examinations

Procedure

The patient collects the first morning urine sample in a sterile container after proper hygiene of the external genital area. In the laboratory, biochemical urine analysis is performed, including parameters such as pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketone bodies, and other indicators.

Results are provided as a laboratory report with quantitative and qualitative values.

If you experience any discomfort or a flare-up of a condition, it is essential to consult a qualified medical professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Only a qualified specialist can provide an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate course of action. To ensure the most accurate and consistent evaluation of test results, it is recommended to have the tests performed at the same laboratory. This is because different laboratories may use different methods and units of measurement for similar tests.
