uriinianalüüsiks

Uriinianalüüsiks is an Estonian term that translates to "for urinalysis" or "for urine analysis". It refers to the process of examining a urine sample for diagnostic purposes. Urinalysis is a common laboratory test used to detect and manage a wide range of medical conditions, including kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and diabetes.

The test typically involves several components. A visual inspection assesses the color and clarity of the urine. A dipstick test can detect the presence of substances such as protein, glucose, ketones, and blood. A microscopic examination of the urine sediment can identify red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria, and crystals.

The results of a urinalysis can provide valuable information about a person's health. For example, the presence of glucose in the urine may indicate diabetes, while an increased number of white blood cells could suggest an infection. Abnormal findings often prompt further investigation to determine the underlying cause. This test is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive, and can be performed quickly, making it a fundamental tool in medical diagnostics.
