Get a Urine Routine & Microscopy test at VRX Diagno Lounge, Goregaon West — the most commonly ordered urine test, used to screen for urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney disease, diabetes, and many systemic illnesses. Mid-stream sample. Pathologist-reviewed report by evening. 24×7 home sample collection.
The Urine Routine & Microscopy test combines physical, chemical (dipstick), and microscopic examination of urine. It is a powerful, low-cost screen that detects urinary tract infection, kidney disease, diabetes (glucose/ketones), liver disease (bilirubin/urobilinogen), proteinuria, and haematuria. Always done on a clean mid-stream sample, ideally first morning urine for the most concentrated specimen.
Pus cells, nitrites, bacteria on microscopy — confirms or strongly suggests UTI
Proteinuria and red cells point to early kidney damage — important in diabetes and hypertension
Glucose in urine prompts blood-sugar testing; ketones in urine suggest diabetic ketoacidosis
Routine in antenatal visits — UTI, proteinuria (pre-eclampsia), and ketones are all important
Raised bilirubin and urobilinogen suggest liver/biliary issues
Crystals on microscopy give clues to stone composition (calcium oxalate, urate, etc.)
First test for suspected UTI alongside urine culture
Especially with thirst, weight loss — to screen for diabetes
Routine in every antenatal visit
Annual screen for proteinuria; sudden ketones may indicate DKA
To detect early kidney damage from BP
To detect crystals, RBCs, and infection
Low-cost, high-yield routine screening
Standard pre-operative screen for occult UTI
| Parameter | What It Measures | Reference Range |
|---|---|---|
| Colour & Appearance | Visual exam — clear/turbid | Pale to amber, clear |
| pH | Acid-base balance | 5.0–7.5 |
| Specific Gravity | Concentration (hydration) | 1.005–1.030 |
| Protein | Kidney filter integrity | Negative / Trace |
| Glucose | Diabetes screen | Negative |
| Ketones | DKA / starvation | Negative |
| Nitrites | Bacterial UTI | Negative |
| Pus Cells (WBC) | Infection marker | 0–5 / hpf |
| RBC | Haematuria | 0–2 / hpf |
| Epithelial Cells | Normal shedding | Few / hpf |
Negative dipstick and minimal cells on microscopy suggest no current urinary issue. Continue routine yearly screening if you have risk factors.
Pus cells + nitrites = UTI. Protein + RBCs = possible kidney disease. Glucose ± ketones = uncontrolled diabetes. Crystals = stone tendency. Your physician will correlate with symptoms and history.
Every report is reviewed by an experienced pathologist with clear interpretation and clinical comment.
