About the urine routine test

Urine routine and microscopy is the first-line test for burning urination, frequency, lower abdominal pain and unexplained fever — the classic urinary tract infection picture, which is especially common in women, in diabetics, in elderly patients, and in anyone with an indwelling Foley catheter. It also picks up protein and sugar leaking into the urine, which are early warnings of kidney damage and diabetes. We supply a sterile container, explain the mid-stream clean-catch technique properly, and for catheterised patients our nurse collects directly from the catheter port using correct aseptic technique — a step most collection services get wrong.

What the Urine R/M test measures

Physical: colour, appearance, specific gravity

Chemical: protein, glucose, ketones, blood, bilirubin, pH

Microscopy: pus cells, red cells, epithelial cells

Crystals, casts and bacteria

Yeast cells and other organisms

Who usually needs a Urine R/M test

Burning, painful or very frequent urination — suspected UTI
Unexplained fever, especially in elderly patients
Patients with an indwelling Foley catheter
Diabetics — routine screening for protein and sugar in urine
Known or suspected kidney disease follow-up
Antenatal check-ups — routine at every trimester
Lower abdominal or flank pain

Preparation: no fasting needed

No fasting. An early-morning first-pass sample is preferred because it is the most concentrated, but any sample is usable.

How we collect your Urine R/M sample at home

Your sample is drawn by a registered nurse or trained phlebotomist — not a courier — which is why we can safely handle elderly, bedridden, difficult-vein, paediatric and post-surgical patients that most collection services struggle with.

Urine R/M normal range — indicative values

What a typical adult reference range looks like for this test.

Indicative adult reference ranges for the Urine Routine Test
Parameter	Indicative adult range
Colour / appearance	Pale yellow, clear
pH	4.6 – 8.0
Protein	Nil / absent
Glucose	Nil / absent
Pus cells (WBC)	0 – 5 per high-power field
Red blood cells	0 – 2 per high-power field

Indicative adult reference ranges only. Every laboratory publishes its own reference interval, and values shift with age, sex, pregnancy and medication. These figures are for orientation — never for self-diagnosis. Your report must be interpreted by your treating doctor.

Frequently asked about the urine routine test

How do I collect a urine sample correctly at home?

We bring a sterile container. Clean the genital area first, begin passing urine into the toilet, then collect the middle part of the stream in the container without touching the inside rim, and close the lid immediately. This mid-stream clean-catch technique matters — a contaminated sample shows false pus cells and epithelial cells, and the test has to be repeated. Our nurse explains the whole process before leaving you to collect it, and for bedridden or catheterised patients the nurse collects it directly.

Can you collect a urine sample from a catheterised patient?

Yes. For patients with an indwelling Foley catheter, the sample must be drawn aseptically from the catheter sampling port — never from the drainage bag, which is always colonised and gives a meaningless result. Our nurses do this correctly as a routine part of catheter care, and can also change the catheter on the same visit if your doctor has ordered it.

What is the difference between urine routine and urine culture?

Urine routine and microscopy shows whether infection is likely — raised pus cells, bacteria, protein. Urine culture goes further: it grows the organism over 48–72 hours and tells your doctor exactly which antibiotic will kill it. Doctors typically start with routine, and add culture if the infection is recurrent, severe, or has not responded to the first antibiotic. We collect both from the same visit.

Urine test cost at home in Bangalore?

At the lowest price available in the market. Urine routine is among the most affordable tests in the market and is very often combined with a CBC or KFT in the same visit at no extra visit charge. Call +91 72178 72802.
