Urinalysis Analysis

Urinalysis is another testing method offered through Preventive Health Lab. A urinalysis is a simple,
inexpensive test that can help detect problems in many parts of your body including your kidneys,
urinary tract, heart and liver. A urinalysis can help detect many diseases before symptoms present
themselves. Early detection and treatment will often prevent serious diseases. More than 20 million
Americans have chronic kidney disease and most don’t even know it. A urinalysis screening can
detect protein in the urine; one of the earliest signs of kidney disease years before symptoms
appear. A urinalysis will also detect the presence of drugs which is an additional but separate service
offered through Preventive Health Lab.

Everyone should have a urinalysis as a child and then periodically as an adult. It is especially
important for people who have an increased risk for kidney disease to be tested for protein in their
urine. Persistent protein in the urine (two positive tests for protein over several weeks) is one of the
earliest signs of chronic kidney disease.

You may be at increased risk for kidney disease if you:

  • Have diabetes
  • Have high blood pressure
  • Have a family history of chronic kidney disease
  • Are an older adult
  • Are an African American, Hispanic, American, Asian or Pacific Islander or, American Indian.
