This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like frequent or painful urination, blood in your urine, lower back pain, or unexplained fatigue. It helps detect urinary tract infections, kidney problems, and signs of diabetes or other metabolic issues early, often before symptoms become severe. Many people use this test as part of routine wellness screening or when they notice changes in their urination habits or urine appearance.
No special preparation is typically required for a routine urinalysis. However, it's best to provide a first-morning urine sample when possible, as it's more concentrated and provides better information. Avoid excessive hydration right before the test, and inform your healthcare provider of any medications or supplements you're taking, as some can affect results. For women, avoid testing during menstruation if possible to prevent contamination.
This comprehensive urinalysis evaluates the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of your urine to detect kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and metabolic conditions. It checks for signs of infection through bacteria and white blood cells, assesses kidney function through protein and blood detection, monitors glucose and ketones for diabetes screening, and examines cellular components and crystals that may indicate kidney stones or other urinary issues. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of your urinary and kidney health, helping catch problems early when they're most treatable.
What this means
Your urine protein level is slightly elevated, which may indicate your kidneys are allowing more protein to pass through than ideal. While small amounts can be normal after exercise or dehydration, persistent elevation may suggest early kidney stress or dysfunction that warrants closer monitoring.
Recommended actions
Stay well-hydrated by drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily
Reduce salt intake and limit processed foods to support kidney function
Monitor blood pressure regularly as hypertension can affect kidney health
Retest in 4-6 weeks to see if elevation persists
