About this test

A routine urine examination combines a chemical dipstick with a look under the microscope. It is the standard first test for burning urination and suspected urinary infection, and it also picks up protein leaking from the kidneys, one of the earliest signs of kidney damage in diabetes.

What it measures

  • Protein, glucose, ketones, blood and nitrites
  • White and red cells under the microscope
  • Bacteria, casts and crystals
  • pH and specific gravity

A note on results. A single test is one part of a clinical picture, not a diagnosis. Discuss your report with a qualified doctor, who will read it alongside your history and examination.
