Urinalysis

A urinalysis (or "UA") is an array of tests performed on urine, also known as R&M (Routine and Microscopy), and one of the most common methods of medical diagnosis.
The target parameters that can be measured or quantified in urinalysis include many substances and cells, as well as other properties such as specific gravity.

A part of a urinalysis can be performed by using urine test strips, in which the test results can be read as color changes. Another method is light microscopy of urine samples.
