Urinalysis & Urine Tests — Reference Ranges
Urinalysis examines the urine itself: its concentration and acidity, chemical dipstick tests, and a microscopic look at cells and other elements. Because the kidneys make urine, these results are a direct window on kidney health as well as on the urinary tract.
This page lists all 19 tests in this group with their typical adult ranges in both unit systems. Open any test for plain-language notes on high and low results and how to prepare.

Please note: Reference ranges vary between laboratories, and between the methods and instruments they use — the range printed on your own report is the one your result should be compared with. A result outside the range is not by itself a diagnosis, and a result inside it does not rule out illness. These pages are an educational summary, not medical advice: always discuss your results with the clinician who ordered them, who can interpret them in the context of your health and history.
