Urine Routine and Microscopy
A simple urine check for infection, sugar, protein and blood.
Also called: Urine R/M, urine analysis, urine examination
What is it?
Routine urine examination looks at the colour and clarity of urine, tests it for sugar, protein and other chemicals, and checks a drop under a microscope for cells and crystals. It helps find urine infection and some kidney problems.
How to prepare
Usually a clean mid-stream morning sample works best. The lab will give you a sterile container.
Report time: Usually the same day.
Usual numbers

Ranges are typical values used in India. Every lab prints its own range on your report, and that range is the one to follow. A number outside the range does not always mean disease. Your doctor decides what it means for you.
