Urinalysis
Urinalysis is one of the main laboratory procedures that allows you to assess the functional status of the kidneys, detect urinary tract infections, and diagnose various metabolic disorders, including diabetes. This test can detect the presence of protein, sugar, ketone bodies, and other important indicators in the urine, which helps in the early detection and prevention of many diseases.

Indications for urinalysis:
- Diagnosing urinary tract infections: A urinalysis is often used to detect urinary tract infections, such as cystitis or pyelonephritis, by determining the presence of bacteria, protein, or white blood cells.
- Kidney function assessment: The test helps assess kidney function by detecting the presence of protein, blood, and other substances in the urine, which can indicate various kidney diseases.
- Chronic Disease Monitoring: This is used to monitor diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases that can affect kidney function.
- Detection of metabolic disorders: A urine test can help detect metabolic disorders such as diabetes.
- Diagnosing Liver Disease: Helps detect certain liver and biliary tract diseases by detecting bilirubin and urobilinogen.
- Screening during pregnancy: Regular urine tests are important for the early detection of preeclampsia, infections, or diabetes during pregnancy.
- Assessment of important minerals and electrolytes levels: A urinalysis can help assess the balance of minerals and electrolytes in the body, which is important for determining hydration and mineral status.
- Suspected poisoning or drug use: Used in toxicological studies to determine the presence of toxins or narcotic substances in the body.
Preparation for a urine test:
- The morning's first urine is ideal, from which you need to collect a medium portion (skipping the first and last few seconds of urination) to get the most accurate results.
- The day before the test, avoid foods and vitamins that can change the color of your urine (beets, carrots, vitamin C) and medications that can affect the test results.
- Before collecting urine, perform thorough hygiene of the external genitalia to avoid bacteria and other contaminants in the sample.
- Use a sterile urine collection container usually provided at a healthcare facility or pharmacy.
- Do not drink excessive fluids before collecting urine, which may dilute the sample and distort the test results.
Importantly! When arranging a urine test through EasyMed, you will receive additional information and support from our manager, who will clarify all aspects of preparation and ensure that the process goes as smoothly and comfortably as possible.
Analysis Process
When you arrive at the medical facility or laboratory, the laboratory staff will provide you with a sterile urine collection container and detailed instructions on collecting the sample properly. It is important to follow these instructions closely to prevent sample contamination.
You will be asked to go to a private urine collection room. To minimize the risk of contamination of the sample, it is usually recommended to collect a medium portion of urine (not the first or last part of urination).
After collecting the urine, the container must be closed tightly and handed to the laboratory staff. This must be done as soon as possible, as long-term storage may affect the test results.
The process of collecting urine itself takes only a few minutes. However, wait times in the lab may vary depending on the workload.
Importantly, EasyMed provides full support in preparing and conducting a urine test. Our manager will provide all the necessary information about preparing for the procedure and help you with any questions.
Diagnostic options of urinalysis
Urinalysis is an essential diagnostic procedure used to assess the condition of the urological and general health system.
Key diagnostic options for urinalysis:
- Urinalysis: Evaluates the physical and chemical properties of urine, including color, clarity, specific gravity, presence of protein, glucose, ketone bodies, red blood cells, white blood cells, and cylinders. This makes diagnosing urinary tract infections, kidney diseases, and metabolic and endocrine disorders possible.
- Microscopic examination of urine sediment detects the presence of cells, bacteria, crystals, cylinders, and other elements, which helps in the diagnosis of inflammatory processes, kidney stones, and other pathologies.
- Infection tests are used to identify specific bacteria or other microorganisms that cause infections. These tests often involve a urine culture to determine the type of pathogen and its sensitivity to antibiotics.
- Protein tests: High protein levels in the urine may indicate kidney failure or other kidney disease.
- Glucose testing: Glucose detection in the urine is often associated with diabetes and requires additional evaluation of blood sugar levels.
- Blood test: The presence of red blood cells in the urine can be a sign of infections, injuries, kidney stones, or other serious illnesses.
- Electrolyte and acid-base balance assessment: Urinalysis can help assess the body's electrolyte balance and acid-base state, which is important for diagnosing and treating various diseases, including renal dysfunction.
- Nitrite and white blood cell test: Nitrite and an elevated white blood cell count may indicate a bacterial urinary tract infection.
