Urinalysis
Urinalysis is part of laboratory diagnostics and describes the laboratory analysis of urine to obtain information about its composition. Many associate urinalysis with drug testing. However, urine analysis can reveal a lot of information about the patient’s health.
Urinalysis is particularly informative in cases of kidney and urinary tract diseases and can also be used in chronic poisonings. Urine can also be used to determine breakdown products of hormones, providing information about the patient’s hormone balance.
Organic acids in urine can be measured to obtain information about various metabolic processes, such as energy production in general, or carbohydrate and fat metabolism.
Furthermore, neurotransmitter balance can be assessed by measuring the breakdown products of individual neurotransmitters.
With the help of laboratory results, the therapist can gain important insights into the patient’s condition and adjust the treatment plan accordingly.
