Urinalysis Testing
At Luxe Primary Practice, we offer in-clinic urinalysis testing to provide crucial insights into your urinary and overall health. This quick and painless test can help detect infections, monitor chronic conditions, and identify early signs of disease.
What is Urinalysis?
Urinalysis is a routine diagnostic test that examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of your urine. Because the kidneys filter blood to produce urine, changes in your urine can reflect changes in your kidneys, urinary tract, or metabolic health.
It’s often part of:
- Routine wellness checkups
- Pre-surgical evaluations
- Pregnancy visits
- Chronic disease monitoring
Urinalysis can detect a variety of conditions, including:
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Kidney disease or damage
- Diabetes and prediabetes
- Liver disease
- Dehydration
- Bladder or kidney stones
What Happens During the Test?
You’ll be asked to provide a urine sample, typically midstream, in a sterile container.
Our lab or medical assistant performs:
- Visual inspection: Color, clarity, and odor of the urine
- Dipstick chemical analysis: A strip detects substances like protein, glucose, ketones, and signs of infection
- Microscopic analysis: Looks for cells, bacteria, crystals, and other particles
The test usually takes only a few minutes, and results can be available the same day, especially if quick treatment is needed.
What Can Urinalysis Detect?
An EKG can reveal a variety of heart conditions, including:
Infections: White blood cells, nitrites, and bacteria indicate a UTI
Blood in urine: May suggest kidney stones, trauma, or infection
Protein or albumin: A sign of kidney damage or disease
Glucose and ketones: Suggest high blood sugar levels, often related to diabetes
Bilirubin or urobilinogen: Indicates liver issues
Crystals or casts: Can point to kidney stones or chronic kidney disease
