Urine Analysis

This panel combines urine chemistry and microscopy markers such as specific gravity, protein, glucose, blood, bacteria, nitrite, leucocytes, crystals, and pH. Together these tests help show hydration status and can reveal early signs of urinary tract infection, kidney stress, stone risk, or metabolic changes before symptoms become obvious.
