Urine Routine Test

A Urine Routine test is a basic test that examines the physical and chemical properties of urine. The test typically analyzes the color, clarity, pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrites, and leukocytes in the urine.

Your doctor may suggest a urine routine test if you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, or blood in your urine. The test may also be used to monitor the progress of urinary tract infections or other urinary conditions.

To perform a urine routine test, you will be asked to provide a urine sample in a clean, sterile container. The sample will be analyzed in a laboratory using various techniques to examine its physical and chemical properties.

Usually, no special preparation is required for a urine routine test. However, your doctor may give you specific instructions on collecting your urine sample, such as avoiding certain foods or medications that could affect the test results.

Several factors can affect the results of a urine routine test, including medications, food, exercise, and dehydration. Inform your doctor beforehand if you take any medications or have changed your diet or exercise routine.

Abnormal results of a urine routine test can indicate a variety of conditions, such as a urinary tract infection, kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and dehydration. Your doctor will interpret the results and recommend appropriate treatment or further testing if necessary.

Normal values are: Color – Yellow (light/pale to dark/deep amber) Clarity/turbidity – Clear or cloudy. pH – 4.5-8.

It is advisable to collect the first urine sample in the morning since urinating is more concentrated and likely to produce the best results.

The cost of the urine routine test ranges from Rs 100 to Rs 350. The prices may be different at different places.
