What is the Urine Routine Examination test?

A Urine Routine test is a test that evaluates the various components of a urine sample. This simple and non-invasive test encompasses a variety of checks to detect or quantify several substances that may be present in the urine. A healthcare professional typically assesses the following broad aspects in this test: Colour and Appearance: The physical examination of the urine. Microscopic Findings: The microscopic examination of urine sample. Chemical Findings: The analysis of various chemical components in the urine. A Urine Routine test can detect numerous diseases even before symptoms manifest. It is instrumental in identifying urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other problems such as kidney issues, diabetes, and liver problems. A Urine Routine test may also be conducted during a routine checkup, upon hospital admission, prior to surgery, or during pregnancy.

What the 27 parameters cover

Typical reference ranges — your report marks anything outside them:

ParameterUnitsReference range
ColourYellow Tea/cola coloured urine may indicate urinary system damage.
AppearanceClear Cloudy or foamy urine may indicate infections and kidney problems, respectively.
Volume800 to 2,000 ml/day 10 Dehydration, reduced fluid intake, and certain chronic kidney diseases can decrease urine volume. Meanwhile, increased urine volume may be caused by conditions such as diabetes mellitus, increased fluid intake, certain kidney diseases, or the use of diuretic medications.
Epithelial Cells0-2 /hpf Increased values in urine may signal UTI, inflammation, or cancer.
Pus Cells0-5 /hpf Elevated values may indicate UTI.
RBCs0-2 /hpf Increased values may indicate anticoagulant therapy, bleeding disorders, or past traumatic catheterisation.
MucusNil Presence indicative of a UTI.
Uric Acid CrystalsNil Presence of these indicates kidney stones or a risk of kidney stones.
Phosphate CrystalsNil As above
Calcium Oxalate CrystalsNil As above
Amorphous UratesNil As above
Amorphous PhosphatesNil As above
Granular CastsNil Presence may indicate acute glomerulonephritis or pyelonephritis.
Hyaline CastsNil Presence is normal and might result from strenuous exercise or non-renal conditions like dehydration.
YeastNil Presence may indicate a yeast infection or a contaminated sample.
BacteriaNil Presence may indicate a UTI.
ParasitesNil Presence may indicate trichomoniasis.
BilirubinNil Elevated values may suggest liver diseases or conjugated hyperbilirubinemia.
BloodNegative Same as RBCs in microscopic findings.
GlucoseNil Presence may indicate kidney disorders, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, hormonal issues, or pregnancy.

NitritesNegative Elevated values might be due to bacterial nitrate reductase suggestive of bacterial cystitis.
pH5.0-8.0 High values may indicate conditions such as kidney issues and UTIs and low values may suggest conditions like diabetes-related ketoacidosis and diarrhoea.
ProteinNil Elevated levels may indicate dehydration, kidney disorders, heart failure, or transplant rejection.
Specific Gravity1.001-1.035 Abnormal results potentially indicate various health conditions. Increased urine specific gravity may be due to conditions such as dehydration, high sodium levels in the blood, heart failure, glucose in the urine, Addison disease, renal artery stenosis, shock, and syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH). Decreased urine specific gravity may be caused by drinking too much fluid, low sodium levels in the blood, kidney failure, severe kidney infection (pyelonephritis), damage to kidney tubule cells (renal tubular necrosis), and diabetes insipidus.
UrobilinogenNormal Increased values may result from liver diseases, haemolysis, megaloblastic anaemia, or tissue haemorrhage.
Leucocyte EsteraseNegative Presence detects esterase enzyme released from the granules of leucocytes.
