Urine Analysis Test Newcastle
Quick, reliable testing to help investigate symptoms and monitor health. We offer in-house urinalysis and urine microscopy for infections, kidney function, and general screening.
Urine analysis at IDOS helps investigate urinary symptoms, possible infection, kidney concerns and general health checks. We’ll confirm what’s being tested, show you how to provide the sample safely, and let you know when results will be ready. Results are processed quickly to support diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, your clinician will explain what they mean in plain English and outline sensible next steps.
Common reasons to test include suspected UTI, blood or protein in urine, diabetes monitoring and part of wider health checks. If additional tests would be useful, we’ll discuss them with you first.
We’ll give you a labelled container and clear instructions for collection. Your sample is tested promptly; some results are available the same day, while others are sent to our partner laboratory. We’ll explain any preparation needed (for example, when to collect the sample) and how you’ll receive your results, by secure message, phone or at a follow-up appointment.
Drink as normal unless we advise otherwise, and avoid collecting a sample straight after strenuous exercise. If you’re menstruating or have trouble collecting the sample, tell us and we’ll suggest the best approach to still get a reliable result. If you’re taking antibiotics, please mention this so we can interpret the findings correctly.
