What does the Urinalysis with Microscopy test measure?

Q: What is the reference range for Urinalysis with Microscopy?

The standard reference range for Urinalysis with Microscopy is pH: 5.0–8.0; Specific gravity: 1.002–1.030; Protein: negative; Glucose: negative; Ketones: negative; Blood: negative; Leucocyte esterase: negative; Nitrites: negative; WBC: 0–5 per HPF; RBC: 0–3 per HPF; Casts: none # REVIEWER FLAG: Confirm Access Medical Laboratories urinalysis reporting format and reference thresholds.. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform — interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.

Urinalysis with Microscopy (UA) is a clinical biomarker used in comprehensive-panels assessment. Urinalysis combines chemical dipstick analysis with microscopic examination of a urine centrifugate to assess renal tubular function, glomerular integrity, urinary tract health, and systemic metabolic states reflected in urine composition. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Urinalysis with Microscopy?

Urinalysis combines chemical dipstick analysis with microscopic examination of a urine centrifugate to assess renal tubular function, glomerular integrity, urinary tract health, and systemic metabolic states reflected in urine composition. Specific gravity and osmolality reflect renal concentrating ability and hydration status. Protein, blood, and cellular casts assess glomerular barrier integrity. Leucocyte esterase and nitrites are bacteriuria and infection markers. Glucose in urine indicates tubular reabsorptive capacity has been exceeded by hyperglycaemia.

Why is Urinalysis with Microscopy measured?

Urinalysis provides the renal and urinary tract screen within the comprehensive health panel, identifying proteinuria (early diabetic or hypertensive nephropathy), haematuria (glomerulonephritis, urological pathology), glycosuria (undiagnosed diabetes or renal tubular disorder), and urinary tract infection. In female health panels, urinalysis is particularly relevant given the higher prevalence of recurrent urinary tract infections, and as a companion to creatinine and eGFR in assessing early kidney disease risk in patients with hypertension, diabetes, or autoimmune conditions.
