A urine test is a common medical procedure used to analyze a person's urine for various health indicators. It can help detect conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, and urinary tract infections. The test typically involves collecting a sample of urine, which is then examined in a laboratory for its chemical composition and the presence of specific substances. Urine tests can be performed in different ways, including dipstick tests, where a special strip is dipped into the urine, and urinalysis, which involves more detailed laboratory analysis. Results can provide valuable information about a person's overall health and guide further medical evaluation if needed.
