What problems can be found out by urine routine test

Everyone should understand the importance of routine urine examination, because we all know that many kidney diseases or other urinary tract diseases can be discovered in time through routine urine examination, and timely treatment measures can be taken. Therefore, for the sake of human health, these examinations cannot be neglected, especially when abnormal conditions occur in the body.

1. Overview of Urinalysis

Urinalysis is a preliminary examination that cannot be ignored in clinical practice. Proteinuria or formed elements in urine sediment can be seen in the early stages of many kidney diseases. Once abnormal urine is discovered, it is often the first indication of kidney or urinary tract disease and often provides important clues to the nature of the pathological process. In recent years, many people have emphasized that the responsible doctor should do routine urine examination on the patient himself, which is a general diagnostic method that helps doctors discover kidney disease.

2. Urinalysis Examination Contents

1. Urine color check: During a routine urine test, the first thing to do is to observe whether the color of the urine is normal. Normal urine is straw yellow, and abnormal urine color may change due to factors such as food, medicine, pigments, and blood.

2. Urine transparency check: Experts from Shijiazhuang Lantian Chinese Medicine Hospital said that if the urine transparency is normal, it is mostly clear and transparent. If the urine is left for too long, the acidity and alkalinity of the urine will change, and the mucus protein, nucleoprotein, etc. in the urine will gradually precipitate, resulting in slight turbidity.

3. Acidity and alkalinity: In a routine urine test, normal urine should be slightly acidic. It may also be neutral or slightly alkaline due to the type of diet, medications taken, and type of disease.

4. Cell examination: Red blood cells, a few white blood cells and small round epithelial cells may occasionally be found in normal human urine. If there are a large number of red blood cells, a large number of white blood cells and many small round epithelial cells in the urine, these are signs of reproductive infection diseases.

5. Cast examination: There are no casts in normal urine, or occasionally a few transparent casts are seen, and it only contains very small amounts of albumin.

6. Protein test: Normal people excrete a relatively small amount of protein every day, and the regular qualitative test in urine examination is usually negative.

7. Specific gravity test: Urine specific gravity is affected by age, water intake and sweating. The level of urine specific gravity can reveal certain information about reproductive infections.
