Urinalysis: urine test and urinalysis values
-
Urinalysis is a frequently used (exploratory or additional) examination to look for the cause of complaints. By means of a urine test or a urine test, a doctor or general practitioner can check or screen for a number of conditions in a simple and non-invasive manner, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disorders, problems with the liver and diabetes. Non-invasive means that the doctor does not need to insert an instrument into an organ for the examination. You just need to pee in a jar, which is then examined. Urinalysis is part of the daily routine of every general practice in the Netherlands. Test strips can be used to test for bacteria, blood, proteins and sugar, among other things. You often hand in urine to the doctor in the morning and you can call the same day for the results of the urine test. Sometimes it is necessary to test the urine in a laboratory. Deviating values may indicate an underlying condition or disease.
