Introduction to Urinalysis

Urinalysis is a vital, non-invasive diagnostic tool that supports early detection, disease monitoring, and preventive care across all levels of healthcare, making it essential in modern medical practice.

Dont be a Dipstick! Why Urinalysis no longer needs a Dipstick

Urinalysis is one of the most common diagnostic tests in global healthcare. Yet despite its clinical importance, it still largely relies on outdated dipstick technology, an approach that introduces significant limitations, regardless of whether results are interpreted manually or using a digital reader.

The History of Urinalysis. From ancient practices to modern diagnostics

Urinalysis, the examination of urine to gain insights into health, is one of the oldest diagnostic practices in medicine. This simple yet powerful test has evolved over thousands of years, from the ancient world’s early observations to today’s sophisticated laboratory techniques. This section explores the fascinating journey of urinalysis and discovers how it has shaped healthcare as we know it.

Urinalysis. The unsung hero of diagnostics

Urinalysis is a powerful yet undervalued diagnostic tool that offers rapid, non-invasive insights into a wide range of health conditions, demanding renewed focus on accuracy, standardisation, and modernisation to fulfil its full potential in preventive and equitable healthcare.
