To do a urinalysis, a dipstick in dipped in the urine to test for certain chemicals--protein, sugar, ketones, etc. Then a sample of the urine is spun in a centrifuge for a few minutes and the sediment at the bottom of the test tube is looked at under a microscope. The whole process takes only a few minutes. However, if the urine is sent for a culture because infection is suspected, results will not be available for 1-3 days because it takes time to grow and identify any bacteria found.

Is it ok to take a urinalysis on the day your period is ending?
Probably not. You shouldn't take a urinalysis test until your period is completely stopped for at least a day. If you take it, odds are you'll have abnormal results and your doctor may prescribe further tests or medications you probably don't need. Save yourself the hassle and reschedule. Your doctor will understand.
