Test Details

The Complete Urine Examination (CUE), commonly known as a urine test, is a diagnostic assessment that involves analyzing a urine sample for various components, including cells, chemicals, and substances. It provides valuable information about kidney function, hydration, and the presence of abnormal substances or infections in the urinary tract.

Urine Sample Collection: The patient is instructed to provide a urine sample in a clean container. This sample is typically collected mid-stream to minimize contamination.

Laboratory Analysis: The urine sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. There, it undergoes a series of tests, including physical, chemical, and microscopic examinations.

In most cases, no specific preparation is required for a Complete Urine Examination (CUE). However, patients may be instructed to avoid certain medications or dietary supplements that can affect the test results.

Collecting a urine sample for this test is a simple and painless procedure. Patients may experience some discomfort while providing the sample, but there is generally no pain involved.

Normal results for a Complete Urine Examination (CUE) indicate that the urine sample falls within established reference ranges for various components, such as color, clarity, pH, specific gravity, and the absence of abnormal substances.

Infections: The presence of bacteria, white blood cells, or other abnormal components may suggest a urinary tract infection.

Kidney dysfunction: Abnormal levels of protein, blood, or waste products in the urine may indicate kidney problems.

Metabolic disorders: Elevated levels of glucose or abnormal pH levels can be associated with conditions like diabetes or metabolic acidosis.

Other medical conditions: Abnormal results may also be linked to liver disease, hematuria (blood in the urine), or specific medications.

A Complete Urine Examination (CUE) is a non-invasive and safe procedure. There are no significant risks associated with providing a urine sample for this test.
