Urinalysis / Kidney
Also known as: Urine test, UA, Urine C&S
Contact your doctor or seek urgent care if you have severe pain during urination, high fever, back pain, or notice blood in your urine, as these could indicate a serious infection or kidney issue.
A urinalysis checks your pee. It looks at how your pee looks. It also checks for things like blood cells, proteins, and sugar. A urine culture specifically looks for germs like bacteria or fungi. These germs can cause an infection.
Your doctor orders these tests to look for health problems. They help find out why you might feel sick. These tests can check for infections, kidney problems, or diabetes. They also help your doctor keep an eye on health problems you already have.
Reference ranges for urinalysis and urine culture results can vary by laboratory and may depend on your age, sex, pregnancy status, and other health factors.
