urine analysis
When there is something off in our overall health, our bodies leave all sorts of signs doctors can use to diagnose the problem. Excretions like urine often carry microscopic and even visual signs of illness and disease. At MedForce Mobile, we can use our on-site lab capabilities to conduct urine analysis to diagnose health concerns and get you the treatment you need.
what is a urine analysis?
Also called a “urinalysis,” this is a test that examines your urine for signs of disease, drugs, or illness. The test involves examining the chemical and microscopic aspects of your urine, as well as any visual cues of potential concerns.
what is the difference between a urine analysis and a urine culture?
Both of these procedures require collecting a urine sample, but they are used slightly differently. While an analysis is more of an observation, a culture is used to grow bacteria from a sample in a lab to diagnose infections. Say, for instance, you are suspected of having a urinary tract infection, a culture would be used to confirm.
