There are several components to a normal urinalysis. Most urinalysis is done by "dipstick," a set of enzyme linked absorbent tests packaged on a plastic strip and dipped into the urine. The dipstick generally tests the urine for: Glucose (blood sugar) -- to detect possible Diabetes Nitrites and/or Leukocyte esterase -- bacterial metabolism products, to detect possible infection Urobilinogen and/or Bilirubin -- to detect possible liver problems Protein, Albumin, ad/or Microalbumin -- to detect possible kidney problems due to high blood pressure or other causes pH -- to check for normal acidification of the urine Specific Gravity -- to check the patient's general hydration status and the normal ability of the kidneys to concentrate urine Blood -- to detect the possibility of kidney problems such as kidney stones or nephritis If a dipstick test detects an abnormality in any of these areas, a laboratory urinalysis in which a doctor or technician views the specimen under the microscope and the urine is run through machines that detect the exact amount of any substances found can provide a great deal more detail.
