Why it's done
A urinalysis is a common test that's done for several reasons:

To check your overall health. A urinalysis might be part of a routine medical exam, pregnancy checkup or pre-surgery preparation. Or it might be used to screen for a variety of disorders, such as diabetes, kidney disease or liver disease, when you're admitted to a hospital.
To diagnose a medical condition. A urinalysis might be requested if you have abdominal pain, back pain, frequent or painful urination, blood in your urine, or other urinary problems. A urinalysis can help diagnose the cause of these signs and symptoms.
To monitor a medical condition. If you've been diagnosed with a medical condition, such as kidney disease or a urinary tract infection, your doctor might recommend testing your urine regularly to monitor your condition and treatment.
Other tests, such as pregnancy testing and drug screenings, might rely on a urine sample, but these tests look for substances that aren't included in a typical urinalysis.

How you prepare

If you're having only a urinalysis, you can eat and drink before the test. If you're having other tests, you might need to fast before the test. Your health care provider will give you specific instructions.
Many drugs, including nonprescription medications and supplements, can affect the results of a urinalysis. Before a urinalysis, tell your doctor about medications, vitamins or other supplements you take.

To check your overall health. Your doctor may recommend a urinalysis as part of a routine medical exam, pregnancy check-up, pre-surgery preparation or when you are admitted to hospital. This is to screen for a range of conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease and bladder cancer.
To diagnose a medical condition. Your doctor may suggest a urinalysis if you're having symptoms such as abdominal (tummy) pain, back pain, peeing often or having pain when you pee, blood in your pee or other urinary problems. A urinalysis may help diagnose the cause of these symptoms.
To monitor a medical condition. If you've been diagnosed with a medical condition, such as kidney disease or a urinary tract disease, your doctor may recommend a urinalysis on a regular basis to monitor your condition and treatment.
Common urine tests include a midstream urine test and a 24-hour urine test.

Midstream urine test
A midstream urine test is the most common urine test and is used when a culture is needed to look for urinary infections. This means the middle part of the urinary flow is collected into a clean container for testing. The collection centre will give you instructions of how this needs to be done.

24-hour urine testing
Sometimes a 24-hour urine test is done, eg, to help assess whether you have kidney disease, or if you are already diagnosed with kidney disease, to see how well it is being managed. With this test, all the urine you produce throughout a 24-hour period is collected into a container provided by your doctor. This is then sent to the lab for analysis. The collection center will give you instructions of how this needs to be done

Test Overview

A urine test checks different components of urine, a waste product made by the kidneys . A regular urine test may be done to help find the cause of symptoms. The test can give information about your health and problems you may have. The kidneys take out waste material, minerals, fluids, and other substances from the blood to be passed in the urine. Urine has hundreds of different body wastes. What you eat and drink, how much you exercise, and how well your kidneys work can affect what is in your urine.
