Urine Test in Faridabad: Complete Urine Analysis (CUE)

At a Glance

Profile: Complete Urine Analysis (CUE). Tests: 17 parameters. Price: From 290. Fasting: Not required. Sample: Urine. Reports: 24 hours, digital. Home collection: Available across Faridabad. Lab: NABL-accredited. After a hot shift on a shop floor or a day of lifting, the urine looks darker and the question arises whether something is wrong. The Complete Urine Analysis (CUE) examines urine by appearance, chemical dipstick and microscope, and reports 17 parameters. It needs no fasting, so there is nothing to plan around an early start. It is also in every full body package, starting with the Basic Full Body Checkup (77 parameters), and a package costs less than booking several panels separately. ## Hard Work, Heat and What Shows Up in Urine Heavy exertion and sweating concentrate urine: Colour darkens and Specific gravity rises. Strenuous physical effort can also cause a temporary trace of Protein or Red Blood Cells that clears within a day or two. This is a recognised pattern and generally harmless, but it can look like disease on a report. So if you have done unusually hard work or exercise in the previous 24 hours, say so when you book, drink water normally, and expect your doctor to repeat the test if a finding is borderline. This profile does not detect occupational exposures of any kind; it reports only what the 17 parameters measure. ## Collecting Around an Early Shift A first-morning sample is usually preferred because it is the most concentrated. For an early-shift worker, a home collection before leaving, from NIT 3, Sector 16, Sector 21C, Old Faridabad or Ballabgarh, fits naturally, and there is no fast to plan. ## How to Collect a Midstream Clean-Catch Sample Wash your hands and clean the genital area. Start urinating into the toilet, let the first few seconds go, then collect the middle of the stream in the sterile container up to the marked line and finish in the toilet. Cap it without touching the inside. The first part carries skin cells and bacteria, so skipping it keeps the report clean; many U.Epithelial Cells indicate contamination. Mention menstruation if relevant. ## The 17 Parameters Colour, Appearance, Glucose, Protein, Bilirubin (Bile), Ketone Bodies, Specific gravity, Blood, Reaction (pH), Nitrites, Leukocytes, PUS(WBC) Cells, Red Blood Cells, U.Epithelial Cells, Casts, Crystals and Others. Two are physical, nine are dipstick chemistry and six are microscopy. They screen for urinary infection, kidney or bladder irritation, sugar and ketones, bile pigment and hydration. ## Reading the Report Glucose in urine does not diagnose diabetes. Blood glucose and HbA1c do (American Diabetes Association, Standards of Care in Diabetes, 2024), and diabetes affects around 101 million Indian adults (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023). Nitrites with Leukocytes and PUS(WBC) Cells suggest infection but cannot name the organism; a urine culture does. Crystals are common and often incidental. ## Symptoms That Make This Test Worth Booking Burning or frequent urination, urgency, lower abdominal discomfort, blood-stained or foul-smelling urine, flank pain and swelling of the feet or face are the usual reasons. Many people on long physical shifts drink little water while working and ignore early urinary symptoms; if a symptom lasts more than a day or two, or you have fever with it, get tested instead of waiting it out. Reports arrive digitally in 24 hours. ## What This Profile Cannot Do This is a dipstick and microscopy examination. It detects overt proteinuria but not microalbuminuria, the earliest sign of diabetic kidney damage, which needs a separate urine microalbumin or ACR test. A normal CUE does not exclude kidney disease; kidney function is measured in blood by the Kidney Function Test (KFT), which also reports creatinine and uric acid. ## What Is Not Included No urine culture and sensitivity, no urine microalbumin or ACR, no 24-hour urine protein, no pregnancy test, no drug screen and no blood tests. Kidney Function Test (KFT) and Liver Function Test (LFT) are separate profiles, found with this one in every full body package. ## Sources American Diabetes Association, Standards of Care in Diabetes, 2024 · Anjana RM, Mohan V, et al.

Fasting: Not required. Eat and drink normally. Hard work or exercise: If you did unusually heavy work or exercise in the previous 24 hours, tell the phlebotomist. It can cause a temporary trace of protein or red cells in urine. If possible, give the sample after a normal working day, not straight after exceptional exertion. Fluids: Drink water normally the day before, especially in hot weather or on a physical shift. Sample: A midstream clean-catch urine sample in the sterile container provided. First-morning urine is preferred. How to collect: Wash hands. Clean the genital area. Pass the first few seconds into the toilet, collect the middle of the stream up to the marked line, finish in the toilet, and cap the container without touching the inside. Menstruation: Mention it, as blood can contaminate the sample. Medicines: Continue prescribed medicines. Mention recent antibiotics. Home collection: Available across Faridabad, including NIT 1, 2, 3 and 5, Sector 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 17, 21A, 21C, 21D, 28, 29, 31, 37, Old Faridabad, Ballabgarh, Neharpar and Greater Faridabad. Any charge is shown in the booking flow before you confirm. Reports: Digital within 24 hours, with abnormal values flagged.
