Page 1 of anyone know what tests you can do on urine

I went to the doctors at the beginning of the week with a delicate testicle, the doc thinks i have an infection (the doc did tell me but it was a very long word some sort of epid......)
anyway i have to leave a sample and i just wanted to know what sort of test can they run on urine

thanks

they could check if it has blood in it, whether you`re passing too much sugar (or perhaps not enough)..... as for the `epid...` part, this could just mean the skin (as in epidermis) but I wouldn`t get yourself worried as you didn`t say you`d found any lumps or anything. it`s amazing what can happen if you sit down awkwardly! :/

Wasn`t `Epidemic` was it?........

Or they could test if you are pregnant which in your case I`m certain you`re not LOL ;)

A urinalysis is most often ordered if a urinary tract infection is suspected, although there are other reasons why such a test could be useful. Like the complete blood count, a urinalysis can check on several different things:

[*]The number and kind of cells from the lining of the kidneys and bladder that have appeared in the urine
[*]The number and variety of both red (RBCs) and white blood cells (WBCs)
The presence of bacteria or other organisms
[*]A variety of chemicals that the kidneys filter (when healthy or sick), such as glucose
[*]The pH, measuring how acidic or basic the urine is
[*]The concentration of the urine

Not forgetting taste, well some people like it.

And the smell. They can tell if you have ate sugar puffs by the smell you know.
Nice there Ras.
