What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing symptoms like cloudy urine, pain when urinating, unusual urine color, or lower back pain that could point to a urinary tract or kidney issue. It's also useful if you've had a recent infection and want to make sure it has cleared up. The test looks closely at your urine sample under a microscope to spot cells or particles that shouldn't normally be there.

What's included in this test?

This test examines your urine sample under a microscope to check for red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria, crystals, and other particles. These elements matter because their presence can be an early sign of infection, kidney irritation, or other issues happening inside your urinary tract before you might notice bigger symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each measurement explained alongside its normal range so you know what's typical. If anything looks abnormal, the report will note simple next steps, like retesting in a few weeks or increasing water intake, and will flag if a value is concerning enough to seek medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report directly from your account at any time. You can also track your results over time using the trends feature to see how your urine health changes.

How can I naturally support urinary tract health?

Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps flush out your urinary system and dilute anything that could irritate it. Cranberry juice or supplements are commonly used to help discourage bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall. Avoiding holding in urine for long periods and urinating after intimacy can also lower your risk of irritation or infection.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being tested at the lab. Once ready, you'll be able to view them securely in your online account. You'll get a notification so you know exactly when to check back.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone noticing urinary symptoms like burning, urgency, cloudy or bloody urine, or unexplained back pain should consider this test. It's also a smart choice if you're monitoring a known kidney or bladder condition, or want a follow-up after treatment for an infection. People with diabetes or a history of kidney stones may also want to check in periodically.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include burning or pain while urinating, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, blood in your urine, frequent urges to go, or aching in your lower back or sides. Fever combined with any of these symptoms can also be a signal your urinary system needs a closer look. If symptoms are severe or you have a high fever, seek medical care promptly.

What does it mean if red or white blood cells show up in my urine?

Red blood cells in urine can point to irritation, infection, or in some cases kidney stones, while white blood cells usually suggest your body is fighting an infection somewhere in the urinary tract. A small amount can sometimes be normal, but higher counts are worth following up on. Drinking more water and retesting is often a reasonable first step for mild cases.

How often should I retest?

If you're being treated for a urinary infection, retesting a couple of weeks after finishing treatment can confirm things have cleared up. If you have a chronic condition like kidney stones or recurring UTIs, checking every few months might make sense. Otherwise, retest anytime new symptoms appear.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

Start with simple steps like drinking more water and avoiding irritants such as caffeine or alcohol, then retest after a short period to see if the numbers improve. If your report shows signs of infection or the abnormality is significant, it's a good idea to seek medical care so it can be properly addressed. Keep tracking your results over time using the trends feature to spot patterns.
