Private Urinaly

Private Urinalysis Testing

A urinalysis is a diagnostic test that examines a urine sample to detect signs of health issues or dysfunctions. This test is commonly used to monitor ongoing medical conditions and assess your overall health. Urine is produced by the kidneys as they filter waste products, urea, and excess water from the bloodstream. Once filtered, urine travels through the ureters to the bladder, where it is stored until eliminated.

A urinalysis test is a simple yet powerful diagnostic tool that helps detect various health conditions and infections. By analysing a small urine sample, this non-invasive test offers valuable insights into your body’s overall health and supports monitoring of existing medical issues.

Our private urinalysis test thoroughly examines your urine’s appearance, composition, and concentration, helping identify potential issues early. You’ll be guided towards further investigation and treatment options if abnormalities are detected.

By visually, chemically, and microscopically analysing a urine sample, urinalysis provides critical information about kidney function, overall health, and the presence of potential infections or disorders.

Why consider a urinalysis test?

A urinalysis test offers a comprehensive look at your health, making it an excellent option for both diagnosis and ongoing monitoring. It can:

  • Monitor existing conditions: Evaluate progress in managing conditions like diabetes, liver disease, or kidney stones.
  • Identify damage to the bile duct or liver.
  • Assess overall health: Detect signs of infections or dysfunctions even before symptoms arise.
  • Identify specific conditions: Identifies kidney or liver disease, urinary tract infections (UTIs), or diabetes risk.

Symptoms to look out for:

If you experience the following, a urinalysis may be especially beneficial:

  • Blood in the urine
  • Abdominal pain
  • Painful or frequent urination
  • Back pain

What does a urinalysis test examine?

A urinalysis involves three stages of testing, each designed to uncover different potential health concerns:

Visual Analysis

This stage assesses the urine’s clarity, colour, and overall appearance. A healthy urine sample should be clear and light yellow.

Foamy, dark, or cloudy urine may indicate infection, dehydration, or other underlying problems.

Chemical Testing

A dipstick test checks for specific chemical substances in the urine. Key measurements include:

  • Acidity (pH levels)
  • Protein levels
  • Glucose or ketones
  • Bilirubin or blood markers
  • Nitrites and leukocytes (often present in UTIs)

 Microscopic Examination

A concentrated urine sample is examined under a microscope to detect:

  • Blood cells (red or white)
  • Bacteria or fungi
  • Crystals or sediment
