Community Healthcare Clinics offers a wide range of lab tests and diagnostic services.
Urinary Sodium
Urinary sodium refers to the amount of sodium excreted in the urine. Sodium is an essential electrolyte that plays a key role in fluid balance, blood pressure regulation, and nerve and muscle function. The kidneys regulate sodium levels by filtering it from the blood and excreting excess amounts in urine. Monitoring urinary sodium levels provides valuable information about kidney function, electrolyte balance, and the body’s response to factors like diet, medications, and various health conditions.
Urinary Urea (Spot)
The Urinary Urea (Spot) test is a diagnostic test used to measure the concentration of urea in a single urine sample (a spot sample). Urea is a waste product that is produced when the body breaks down protein. The kidneys filter urea from the blood, and it is then excreted in the urine.
Urinary Uric acid (Spot)
The Urinary Uric Acid (Spot) test measures the amount of uric acid excreted in a single urine sample. Uric acid is a waste product formed from the natural breakdown of purines, which are found in certain foods (e.g., red meat, seafood) and are also produced by the body. This test can provide insight into how well the body is metabolizing uric acid and may help detect certain health condition.
Urine - Ketone
The Urine - Ketone test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of ketones in the urine. Ketones are chemicals produced when the body breaks down fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. This process, known as ketosis, can occur when the body does not have enough glucose (sugar) available for energy, such as during fasting, prolonged exercise, or carbohydrate-restricted diets. In some conditions, the presence of ketones in the urine may indicate an underlying health issue.
Urine - Sugar + Albumin
The Urine - Sugar + Albumin test is a diagnostic test that checks for the presence of two substances in the urine: Sugar (typically glucose) Albumin (a type of protein) This test is often used to assess the health of the kidneys and monitor for certain conditions, such as diabetes or kidney disease.
Urine - Sugar/Glucose
The Urine - Sugar/Glucose test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of glucose (sugar) in a person's urine. Under normal circumstances, there should be little to no glucose in the urine. When glucose is present, it may indicate that blood sugar levels are abnormally high (a condition known as hyperglycemia) or that the kidneys are unable to properly filter and reabsorb glucose from the bloodstream.
Urine AFB
Urine AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other acid-fast bacilli in a urine sample. This test helps diagnose genitourinary tuberculosis or other mycobacterial infections affecting the urinary tract.
Urine Albumin
Urobilinogen is a substance produced in the intestines from bilirubin, which is a byproduct of the breakdown of red blood cells. It plays a role in the digestion and absorption of fats and is an important indicator of liver function, red blood cell breakdown, and the health of the biliary system.
Urine for Protein
A urine protein test measures the amount of protein in urine. Normally, urine contains very little to no protein because the kidneys filter out excess waste and fluids while keeping important substances, like proteins, in the blood. However, if the kidneys are damaged or stressed, protein can leak into the urine. This condition is known as proteinuria.
Urine for Reducing Sugar
The Urine for Reducing Sugar test is a laboratory test that detects the presence of reducing sugars in the urine. Reducing sugars are carbohydrates that have the ability to reduce certain chemicals, and the test is typically used to detect sugars like glucose, fructose, or galactose in the urine. The most common reducing sugar detected in this test is glucose.
Urine Pregnancy Test
A Urine Pregnancy Test (UPT) is a diagnostic test used to determine if a woman is pregnant by detecting the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in her urine. hCG is a hormone produced by the placenta shortly after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus.
Urine Sugar
Urine sugar refers to the presence of glucose in the urine, which is typically not found in significant amounts under normal conditions. In healthy individuals, the kidneys filter glucose from the blood but reabsorb it back into the bloodstream. However, when blood glucose levels become too high, the kidneys are unable to reabsorb all the glucose, and it spills over into the urine. This condition is called glucosuria.
