This test is ideal if you're experiencing frequent urination, painful urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, or unexplained abdominal discomfort. It helps detect kidney problems, bladder infections, diabetes, and other metabolic issues before they become serious. Many people use this test when they have urinary symptoms or as part of routine wellness screening to catch potential health issues early.
No fasting is needed for this test. Simply provide a urine sample at the lab. For the most accurate results, avoid excessive hydration right before the test, and try to collect a midstream sample if possible. Your lab technician will provide specific instructions when you arrive.
This comprehensive urinalysis evaluates kidney function through markers like protein and specific gravity, which reveal how well your kidneys are filtering waste. It screens for bladder infections by detecting bacteria, white blood cells, and nitrites that indicate infection. The test also checks for diabetes through glucose and ketone levels, identifies crystals that may lead to kidney stones, and examines blood cells and other microscopic elements that provide insights into urinary tract health.
What this means
Your urine protein level is slightly elevated, which may indicate your kidneys are not filtering as efficiently as they should. While this could be temporary due to dehydration or exercise, persistent protein in urine may signal early kidney stress and should be monitored closely.
Recommended actions
Stay well-hydrated with 6-8 glasses of water daily
Reduce sodium intake and limit processed foods
Monitor blood pressure regularly as it affects kidney health
Retest in 4-6 weeks to see if levels return to normal
