Two Unique Characteristics of A 1.) Urine is readily available & an easily collected
Urine Specimen specimen.
2.) Urine contains info which can be obtained by

Urinalysis The testing of urine with procedures commonly
performed in an expeditious, reliable, safe, &
cost effective manner.
Reasons for Performing Urinalysis - Aiding in the diagnosis of disease
(Identified by CLSI) - Screening asymptomatic populations for
undetected disorders
- Monitoring the progress of disease & the
effectiveness of therapy
Urine Composition Consists of urea & other organic & inorganic
chemicals dissolved in water; 95% water & 5%
solutes.

from teh breakdown of protein & amino acids;
accounts for nearly half the total dissolved solids
in urine.
