Urinalysis is a laboratory test that examines a person's urine sample for various substances and properties. It is commonly used as a screening tool to evaluate overall health, diagnose medical conditions, monitor the effectiveness of treatment, or detect the presence of drugs or other toxic substances in the body. Urinalysis involves assessing the physical characteristics of urine, such as color, clarity, and specific gravity, as well as analyzing the chemical composition, such as the presence of glucose, protein, ketones, and other substances. It may also include a microscopic evaluation to identify and count the different types of cells, bacteria, crystals, or other particles present in the urine. Urinalysis is a non-invasive and relatively simple test that provides valuable information about a person's health or specific medical conditions.
