	Urinalysis - urologychannel
		Urinalysis also may be performed to detect a urinary tract infection (UTI), protein in the urine (proteinuria), or blood in the urine (hematuria), and to diagnose pregnancy.
		Urinalysis was the very first laboratory test developed—the value of urine testing to diagnose medical conditions was established over 6000 years ago.
		Urinalysis was first introduced as part of the routine physical examination in 1827, and this test remains a valuable method of diagnosis.

		Urinalysis should not be performed while a woman is menstruating or having a vaginal discharge.
		A woman who must have a urinalysis while she has a vaginal discharge or is having her period should insert a fresh tampon before beginning the test.

		Urinalysis is used most often to detect hidden infections of the urinary tract.
		Most major authorities recommend regular urinalysis for certain populations; otherwise, the test is given at the discretion of the physician.
		Modern urinalysis is both inexpensive and convenient, thanks to the use of "dipsticks" -- filter paper infused with chemicals that change color when certain chemicals are present.

		Urinalysis is a physical and/or chemical examination of the urine.
		Most of the screening urinalysis tests are measured by a reagent "dipstick" which contains little pads of chemicals that change color when they come in contact with the substances of interest.
		If the urine is of an unusual color that cannot be accounted for by food intake or medication (and the urinalysis is positive), consult the health care provider.

		Urinalysis is essentially a standard component of the clinical minimum database in many veterinary teaching hospitals and referral practices.
		For urinalysis to be considered essential it would have to be a test (set of tests) with a high data yield or high sensitivity.
		The basic question as to whether urinalysis should be performed, as a "screening" test, on all patients, has received considerable attention in the medical literature.

	Urinalysis or Uromancy? - NORML
		The fact is that urinalysis does not detect whether someone is impaired or under the influence of drugs, rather it detects the presence of non-psychoactive drug metabolites, that may linger in the system days or weeks after use.
		Were urinalysis a life-saving now drug, it would have had to undergo years of painstaking pre-market testing in order to meet FDA regulations, requiring it to be proven fully "safe and effective" in rigorous, double-blind studies.
		Urinalysis is especially burdensome and offensive to those otherwise responsible, productive workers who do not abuse drugs on the job but enjoy indulging them in their free time at home.

	Urinalysis Test - Urine Culture Test
		A urine culture done in the early stage of a urinary tract infection (UTI) may be less accurate than one that is done after the infection becomes established.
		A urine culture may be done when an abnormal result from a urinalysis (such as an increased number of white blood cells) indicates an infection.
		A urine culture is not always done for a healthy woman with symptoms of a urinary tract infection and a positive urine test result.

	Urinalysis: Testing a Urine Sample
		If any of the values on the urinalysis are significantly higher or lower than normal, your veterinarian may suggest waiting several days to several weeks and then checking another sample to see if the abnormality is still present.
		It is the pH (acidity or alkalinity) of the patient's urine that is being measured in a urinalysis, not the pH of the food the patient has eaten, or the pH of the patient's blood.
		Still, as with other tests, the urinalysis is just a reflection of what is going on in the animal's body during a short period of time.

	The Importance of a Urinalysis in Dogs
		A urinalysis is a laboratory test of urine commonly referred to by medical professionals as a “UA.” The urine is evaluated for the presence of certain chemicals.
		A urinalysis is often done when indicated by the results of an X-ray, results of blood tests indicating a problem with the urinary system or as a follow up to physical examination when abnormalities are detected.
		A urinalysis usually consists of three parts; examining the physical sample, a dipstick analysis to evaluate the presence of certain substances and microscopic examination of the sediment.

	Diagnostic Tests — Urinalysis
		A urinalysis is a routine examination of the urine for cells, tiny structures, bacteria, and chemicals that suggest various illnesses.
		Since the first flow of urine is most likely to be contaminated by bacteria from around the opening of the urethra, first urinate for a moment into the toilet and then use the cup to collect the "middle" portion of your urine stream.
		Your doctor might be able to do a urinalysis in his or her office and can give you the results within 10-15 minutes.

		A urinalysis is a search for purposes of the Fourth Amendment and therefore must be conducted in a reasonable manner.

	Urinalysis
		Urinalysis is the examination of urine for certain physical properties, solutes, cells, casts, crystals, organisms, or particulate matter.
		Because urinalysis is easy, cheap, and productive, it is recommended as part of the initial examination of all patients and should be repeated as clinically warranted.
		There has been controversy in recent years as to whether microscopic urinalysis is always necessary, especially if the macroscopic urinalysis is entirely negative.

	What is Urinalysis?
		Urinalysis can detect pregnancy, recreational drug use, diabetes, kidney diseases or evidence of infections elsewhere.
		Some urinalysis is performed under the microscope, because the individual cells or crystal formations may be too small to detect.

		Plutonium urinalysis is a very sensitive in-vitro bioassay measurement technique used to determine the amount of plutonium in human urine as a means of estimating the systemic burden (or total amount of plutonium) in the human body.
		Plutonium urinalysis is a measurement technique that ultimately provides information to individuals on the amount of plutonium they have in their bodies.
		Consequently, it may be possible to use urinalysis testing and plutonium isotope measurements as an investigative tool to assess source specific exposures to Bravo as well as other nuclear test events.
