Urinalysis / Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Test
The ICare Urinalysis / Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Test is a simple, non-invasive test that provides valuable insight into your urinary health. By analyzing a urine sample, this test can help identify signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney conditions, diabetes, dehydration, and other health concerns that may affect your urinary system.
Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections, especially in women, and can cause uncomfortable symptoms that interfere with daily life. Early testing can help identify the cause of your symptoms and allow your healthcare provider to recommend the most appropriate treatment before complications develop.
If you are experiencing urinary discomfort or simply taking a proactive approach to your health, this test offers a fast and effective way to better understand what's happening inside your body.
What Does This Test Measure?
A urinalysis evaluates several components of your urine, including:
Appearance and Concentration
Examines the color, clarity, and concentration of your urine, which can provide clues about hydration and kidney function.
White Blood Cells (Leukocytes)
The presence of white blood cells may indicate that your body is fighting an infection or inflammation within the urinary tract.
Nitrites
Certain bacteria that cause UTIs produce nitrites in the urine. Their presence may suggest a bacterial urinary tract infection.
Red Blood Cells
Blood in the urine may occur with urinary tract infections, kidney stones, kidney disease, or other urinary tract conditions and should be evaluated by your healthcare provider.
Protein
Protein is normally present only in very small amounts. Elevated levels may indicate kidney disease or other medical conditions affecting kidney function.
Glucose and Ketones
These measurements can provide additional information about blood sugar control and metabolic health, and may help identify diabetes or other metabolic disorders.
Urine Culture (When Ordered)
If a urinary tract infection is suspected, your healthcare provider may also order a urine culture. This test identifies the specific bacteria causing the infection and helps determine which antibiotics are most likely to be effective.
