Urine analysis is a diagnostic test that examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine to assess various aspects of health, including kidney function, hydration, and the presence of abnormalities or diseases.

Urine analysis involves several key components:

Physical Examination: This includes assessing color, clarity, and odor of the urine.

Chemical Examination: Tests for substances such as glucose, protein, ketones, bilirubin, and pH level.

Microscopic Examination: Involves looking at urine sediment under a microscope to identify cells, crystals, and other particles.

Specific Gravity: Measures the concentration of urine to evaluate kidney function and hydration.

pH Level: Indicates the acidity or alkalinity of the urine.

Glucose Test: Detects the presence of sugar, which may indicate diabetes or other metabolic conditions.

Protein Test: Checks for protein in the urine, which can be a sign of kidney problems.

Ketones Test: Identifies the presence of ketones, which may suggest uncontrolled diabetes or a low-carbohydrate diet.

Bilirubin Test: Detects bilirubin, a product of red blood cell breakdown, which can be a sign of liver or gallbladder issues.

Nitrites Test: Indicates the presence of bacteria in the urine, suggesting a urinary tract infection.

D dimer test

A D-dimer test is a blood test that measures the presence of a substance called D-dimer in the blood. Here are the key details:

Purpose: The test is often used to help diagnose or rule out conditions associated with abnormal blood clotting and fibrinolysis (the process of breaking down blood clots).

D-dimer: When a blood clot dissolves, it produces fragments, including D-dimer. Elevated levels of D-dimer may indicate the presence of an abnormal blood clotting process in the body.

Conditions Tested For:

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clots in the veins, often in the legs.
Pulmonary Embolism (PE): Blood clots that travel to the lungs.
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC): A serious disorder that causes abnormal blood clotting throughout the body.
Other Conditions: D-dimer levels may also be elevated in various other medical conditions and situations, including inflammation, infection, trauma, surgery, and certain cancers.
Normal Range: D-dimer levels are typically low or undetectable in healthy individuals. Elevated levels may warrant further investigation.

Interpretation: While an elevated D-dimer can suggest the possibility of a blood clot, it is not specific to any particular condition. Additional tests, imaging, and clinical evaluation are usually needed to confirm a diagnosis.

A lipid profile is a blood test that measures various types of cholesterol and fats in your bloodstream. Here are the key components:

Total Cholesterol: The total amount of cholesterol in your blood, including both high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol: Often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, as high levels can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.

High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol: Often referred to as "good" cholesterol, as it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of heart disease.

Triglycerides: A type of fat that circulates in the blood. Elevated triglyceride levels may increase the risk of heart disease.

Non-HDL Cholesterol: Calculated by subtracting HDL cholesterol from total cholesterol, providing a measure of all the "bad" cholesterol in the blood.

A lipid profile helps assess the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Prothrombin time test measures how long it takes for a clot to form in your blood.
An INR is a type of calculation based on PT test results. Prothrombin is a protein made by the liver. It is one of several substances known as clotting (coagulation) factors.
The test is mostly requested for individuals with symptoms of bleeding or clotting disorders and also monitor Warfarin treatment on patients with clotting disorders.
