Urinalysis with Microscopic Exam
Low-Cost Urine Screening Test with Microscopic Review
The Urinalysis with Microscopic Exam is a urine test that checks the appearance, chemical makeup and microscopic contents of a urine sample.
A urinalysis is one of the most commonly ordered screening tests because it can provide useful information about the urinary tract, kidneys, hydration status and other general health markers.
This test includes a microscopic examination, which may look for red blood cells, white blood cells, bacteria, crystals, casts, epithelial cells and other formed elements in the urine.

Low-Cost Urine Screening Option

This can be a cost-saving option for customers who need basic urine screening, follow-up testing or documentation without insurance billing.
Who May Consider This Test?
This test may be appropriate for:
- People who need a general urine screening test
- People following up on prior abnormal urine results

Common Reasons for Testing
A urinalysis with microscopic exam may be ordered when symptoms, history or routine screening suggest urine testing may be useful.
- Burning or discomfort with urination
- Frequent urination
- Cloudy or unusual urine appearance
- Possible blood in urine
- Back, flank or lower abdominal discomfort
- Follow-up to protein, blood or leukocytes on prior urine testing
- General health screening
- Provider-directed kidney or urinary tract monitoring
Important: Not the Same as a Urine Culture
A urinalysis with microscopic exam is not the same as a urine culture.
A urine culture attempts to grow and identify bacteria from a urine specimen and may be used when a bacterial urinary tract infection needs further evaluation.
If you have symptoms of a urinary tract infection, a healthcare provider may recommend a urine culture or other testing in addition to urinalysis.
Important Collection Instructions
Follow the lab location's urine collection instructions carefully.
A clean-catch, midstream urine sample is commonly recommended to help reduce contamination from skin or genital bacteria.
- Wash your hands before collecting the sample.
- Use the collection cup provided by the lab.
- Do not touch the inside of the cup or lid.
- Collect the sample as instructed by the lab location.
- If you are menstruating or have visible blood contamination, tell the lab or healthcare provider because it may affect results.
Important Symptom Warning
If you have fever, chills, severe back or flank pain, pelvic pain, blood in urine, vomiting, pregnancy-related concerns, worsening urinary symptoms, inability to urinate, immune system problems or any urgent medical concern, seek medical care promptly.
Do not use this test as a substitute for urgent medical evaluation, diagnosis or treatment.
Screening and Lab Access Only
LabReqs and SchoolTiters provide access to lab testing. We do not diagnose urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, liver disease or any medical condition.

- This test does not determine which antibiotic or treatment is needed.
- Contamination, menstruation, dehydration, exercise, supplements and medications may affect results.
- Abnormal results may require repeat testing, urine culture, blood work, imaging or medical evaluation.
- If symptoms are present, medical care may still be needed even if the urinalysis is normal.
