Microscopic Urine Only
The Microscopic Urine Only test is a laboratory examination that focuses on the microscopic components present in urine. It helps in identifying various substances such as cells, crystals, bacteria, and casts that may indicate underlying health issues. Clinicians typically order this test to investigate symptoms like urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or metabolic disorders. The Microscopic Urine Only test is particularly useful in settings where a detailed analysis of urine is necessary to aid in diagnosis, monitor disease progression, or assess treatment effectiveness.

Clinical Information
Clinical Significance
Abnormal results in the Microscopic Urine Only test can indicate various health issues. For instance, the presence of red blood cells may suggest bleeding in the urinary tract, while white blood cells can indicate infection or inflammation. However, it’s crucial to remember that only a healthcare provider can accurately interpret these results in the context of your overall health and symptoms. They will consider your medical history, physical examination, and possibly other tests to arrive at a diagnosis.
Reference Ranges
Reference ranges for the Microscopic Urine Only test can vary depending on factors such as age, sex, and laboratory methods used. In general, normal findings should include specific types and quantities of cells and substances. It’s important to note that these ranges are interpreted in the context of individual health conditions, and your healthcare provider will explain what the results mean for you.
Sample Preparation
Before your Microscopic Urine Only test, there are generally no special preparations required. However, it is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are currently taking, as some may affect the test results. Ensure that you provide a fresh urine sample, ideally collected in the morning when urine is most concentrated. Your clinician will provide specific instructions if any changes in medication or fasting are necessary.
