Frequently asked questions
What is the right method to collect a urine sample?
The right method to collect a urine sample is to collect midstream urine. Discard the first few drops of urine as it might contain the microorganisms present on the surface of the genitals. It is advised to clean the genitals and surrounding area before the collection of a urine sample.
Why it is advised to collect midstream urine for the collection of a urine sample?

It is advised to clean the genital area and the skin around it before giving the sample. Discard the few drops of urine and collect midstream urine for accurate results.

What other tests can be used to assess kidney function?

How albumin helps to detect kidney damage?
Normally, the kidneys function by filtering waste from the blood. The healthy components such as protein which includes albumin are not filtered. In case of kidney damage, the proteins leak through the kidneys and pass on to the urine. When albumin is detected in urine, it indicates kidney damage.
