Urine analyzer
Clinical pathology covers many lab functions. It is concerned with disease diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. Clinical pathologists are healthcare providers with special training.
Clinical pathology test is a medical specialty that is concerned with the diagnosis of disease based on the laboratory analysis of bodily fluids, such as blood, urine, and tissue.
Clinical pathology is one of the two major divisions of pathology, the other being anatomic pathology. Often, pathologists practice both anatomic and clinical pathology, a combination sometimes known as general pathology.
Stool and urine examination is a part of clinical pathology.
Stool analysis is done to:
- Help identify diseases of the digestive tract, liver, and pancreas.
- Help find the cause of symptoms affecting the digestive tract, such as prolonged diarrhoea, bloody diarrhoea, an increased amount of gas, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, bloating, belly pain and cramping, and fever.
A urinalysis is a test of your urine. It’s used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease and diabetes. A urinalysis involves checking the appearance, concentration and content of urine.
For example, a urinary tract infection can make urine look cloudy instead of clear. Increased levels of protein in urine can be a sign of kidney disease.
Unusual urinalysis results often require more testing to find the source of the problem.
