Urinalysis Complete
Dipstick urinalysis is important in assessing the chemical constituents in the urine and the relationship to various disease states. Microscopic examination helps to detect the presence of cells and other formed elements.
Urinalysis, Complete, with Reflex to Culture
Dipstick urinalysis is important in assessing the chemical constituents in the urine and the relationship to various disease states. Microscopic examination helps to detect the presence of abnormal urine cells and formed elements. Culture may identify the organism(s) causing infection.
Albumin, Random Urine with Creatinine
This test checks for albuminuria by measuring albumin and creatinine levels in a random urine sample and calculating the albumin-creatinine ratio (ACR). It's key for spotting early kidney damage and guiding the treatment and outlook of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Albuminuria is a more precise indicator of kidney health than general protein levels in urine, making this test crucial for early detection and management of CKD.
Heavy Metals Panel, 24-Hour Urine
Excessive exposure to Heavy Metals can cause acute and chronic toxicity. The Heavy Metals Panel is intended to evaluate and monitor exposure to heavy metals and evaluate the process of detoxification.
Urinalysis Microscopic
This test involves a detailed microscopic examination to identify any abnormal cells or elements in the urine. It's a crucial step in diagnosing various conditions that affect the urinary tract and kidneys.
Protein, Total, Random Urine with Creatinine
Proteinuria is characteristic of renal disease, and concentrations may be increased with diabetes, hypertension, nephritic syndrome, and drug nephrotoxicity.
Methylmalonic Acid, Urine with Creatinine
Methylmalonic Acid (MMA) is useful to diagnose and monitor Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency, and to diagnose and monitor patients with methylmalonic acidemia.
Deoxypyridinoline Crosslinks, Urine
Monitor response to antiresorptive therapy in postmenopausal women and individuals with osteoporosis. Does not replace bone mineral density (BMD) screening to diagnose osteoporosis.
