What is included in the routine UA?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The routine UA includes a physical, chemical, and sometimes microscopic analysis of the urine sample. The physical properties include color, transparency versus cloudiness, odor, and concentration as detected through a specific gravity measurement. The chemical analysis for abnormal constituents is determined by using plastic reagent strips that test for the presence of glucose, protein, blood, hemoglobin, white blood cells, ketones, bacteria, bilirubin, and other constituents.
