Urinalysis
A urinalysis is a test of your urine. It’s used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and diabetes.
A urinalysis involves checking the appearance, concentration, and content of urine. For example, a urinary tract infection can make urine look cloudy instead of clear. Increased levels of protein in urine can be a sign of kidney disease.
Why it’s done
- To check your overall health.
- To diagnose a medical condition.
- To monitor a medical condition.
Oral Fluids
As an alternative to urine testing, saliva testing or oral fluid testing is also used for testing. Oral fluid is the liquid found in the oral (mouth) cavity, consisting of saliva from the salivary glands, cells, and tissues of the gum and check, cellular debris, microorganisms, and food residues.
