Read moreThis urinary tract infection test identifies abnormalities in the urine’s appearance, content, and concentration. The UTI urinalysis involves a visual, chemical (dipstick test), and microscopic examination of your urine sample to help identify signs of infection.
Urinalysis is not required to make a diagnosis, but it can offer a pathway to effective treatment, symptom relief, and complication prevention. An abnormal urinalysis by itself does not necessarily mean you have a UTI and need treatment. It is also possible to have a negative urinalysis and still have a UTI.
