Urine Profile
ABOUT THIS TEST
This test provides a detailed assessment of urinary markers that reflect kidney health, hydration status, metabolic function, infection, and inflammation. It helps identify early signs of urinary tract infections, kidney stress, metabolic imbalance, and issues related to blood, glucose, or protein in the urine.
A urine profile is useful for individuals experiencing symptoms such as urinary discomfort, fatigue, swelling, frequent urination, thirst changes, or for those seeking a general health screen to detect problems early.
