How many items are included in a urine routine test

What are the items in the routine urine test? This is what everyone should pay attention to, because only by understanding these tests can you know whether you are infected with some urinary system diseases and understand your reproductive health status. These include urine color test, transparency test, acid-base test, cell test, etc. Be sure to follow the doctor's arrangements during the examination.

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.

8. Qualitative test for urine sugar: There are trace amounts of glucose in normal urine, and the qualitative test is negative. Positive urine sugar may indicate a certain disease.
