Urine Analysis

Meaning

A comprehensive laboratory examination of a urine sample, often referred to as a urinalysis, that assesses the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of the fluid. This simple, non-invasive clinical test provides valuable, real-time data on kidney and urinary tract health, systemic hydration status, and the body’s metabolic byproducts, including the excretion of hormone metabolites. It serves as an essential screening and diagnostic tool in endocrinology and general medicine.
