Specialized test targeting specific health concerns or advanced biomarkers.

Urinalysis and urine testing provide a non-invasive window into kidney function, metabolic health, and urinary tract infections. A standard urinalysis evaluates color, clarity, pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, and microscopic elements. Urine culture and sensitivity (MCS) identifies bacterial infections and determines which antibiotics will be effective. Urine tests are among the most commonly ordered diagnostic tests in medicine — simple to collect, quick to analyze, and highly informative for a wide range of conditions.
