Urineonderzoekscreening

Urineonderzoekscreening, often referred to as a urine test or urinalysis, is a common diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the physical and chemical properties of urine. It is a non-invasive test that can provide valuable information about a person's health status. The screening typically involves analyzing the color, clarity, and odor of the urine. Furthermore, the pH, specific gravity, and the presence of various substances such as protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, and blood are measured. Microscopic examination of the urine sediment can reveal the presence of red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria, crystals, and casts.

This type of screening is widely utilized for a variety of purposes. It can aid in the diagnosis of urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and liver conditions. It is also employed to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for these and other medical conditions. In some cases, a urineonderzoekscreening may be part of routine medical check-ups or pre-employment physicals. The procedure itself is straightforward, requiring a clean-catch urine sample to minimize contamination. The collected sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis by trained technicians. The results are typically available within a short timeframe and are interpreted by a healthcare professional in conjunction with the patient's medical history and other diagnostic findings.
