Preparation for the examination

General

For the test, urine should be collected in the morning, i.e. after at least 8 hours of rest, without emptying the bladder for at least 4 hours.
The patient typically collects urine into a vacuum container, then tightens the cap and peels off the sticker. Under the sticker is a hole for the included collection tube. The patient then places the collection tube on the designated hole, and the tube automatically draws in the urine. The patient brings this collection tube for analysis, and the patient disposes of the large container containing excess urine.
If the sample submitted is insufficient, the laboratory reserves the right to cancel the analysis.
Vacuum containers with a tube are available at CM Luxmed collection points.
The tube containing the collected material must be signed.
The urine sample should be submitted for testing as soon as possible (no longer than 2 hours after collection).
Before collection, intimate hygiene should be maintained (the material is collected after washing the genital area, but disinfectants should not be used).
In the case of patients with a catheter, the method of collecting the material should be consulted with the attending physician.

Specific for women

Women should not perform the test during their period, but at least 3 days after menstruation.

Detailed for babies

To perform a urinalysis on a young child, purchase a special bag from the pharmacy (one for boys and one for girls).
Then, follow the instructions on the bag.
Place the bag containing urine into a disposable urinalysis container
and label the container containing the sample (do not transfer urine from the bag to the container).

Important

A separate, sterile urine container is required to perform a urine culture test.

Description

A general urinalysis consists of assessing physicochemical properties (color, specific gravity, pH, clarity, presence of red blood cells, white blood cells, glucose, urobilinogen, ketones, proteins, nitrites, ascorbic acid) and examining the sediment (formed urine elements: crystals, casts, bacteria, yeast, epithelium, mucus strands).
Urinalysis is an important complement to blood tests, particularly in urinary tract diseases and in cases of kidney involvement in systemic diseases.
