ABOUT URINALYSIS

At University Urgent Care in Fort Worth, TX we serve the Paschal, Frisco Heights, Tanglewood, and TCU neighborhoods with important urinalysis diagnostic testing. Urinalysis, or urine screening tests, are an important part of patient care and play a large role in the proper diagnosis of a number of health conditions. Our skilled, care providers and our laboratory services set our diagnostic skills apart from other urgent care facilities and assist us in providing comprehensive treatment to the greater DFW area.

 

PURPOSE OF URINALYSIS

A urinalysis is a test of the urine and is used to detect and treat a wide range of diseases and disorders. Among the most common conditions tested for via urinalysis are pregnancy, urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and diabetes. Part of the urinalysis involves the professional observation of the appearance, content, and concentration of urine. An abnormal result often points toward an illness or a disease.

URINALYSIS TESTS

Our laboratory will be assessing the following items during a urine analysis:

  • Red or white blood cells 
    Our technicians will do a microscopic analysis of your urine sample to check for the presence of blood cells. If they are found, this could indicate a number of abnormalities.
  • pH balance
    If your urine is more acidic or alkaline than is typical, it can imply a variety of conditions and should be monitored.
  • Protein levels
    If protein is present in the urine, it can point to pregnancy or a serious medical issue.
  • Glucose
    The presence of glucose in the urine could be a sign of diabetes or other serious problems with the blood sugar.
  • Nitrites 
    If our technicians find nitrites or the products of bacteria as it breaks down in the urine, this could be a sign of a urinary tract infection.
  • Microscopic analysis
    Our team will use microscopic analysis to check for a range of components that could signify an abnormal condition or illness, including crystals, yeast cells, specific gravity, bacteria, casts, parasites, or squamous cells.
  • Color
    Abnormalities in the color of the urine can point to issues with medications, fluid balance, or diet. It can also indicate certain diseases.
  • Odor
    If the odor of the urine is particularly strong or unpleasant, our team may want to conduct further tests to find the cause.
  • Appearance
    In particular, cloudiness can signify that bacteria, sperm, mucus, blood, or crystals are present, all of which could point to different conditions that may need to be tested further.

I glad I chose to come to University Urgent Care instead of the actual Hospital ER. The staff was friendly, the nurse was attentive, and the NP was empathetic and knew exactly what I needed! There wasn’t a office full of patients waiting to be seen, my visit was short, to the point, and quick! Thank you Ladies for a Great 1st time Visit!!!
