Urine testing is a useful indicator of health or disease as the composition of urine can change markedly when a wide variety of diseases or infections are present. Because urine testing is simple and non-invasive to carry out, it can be part of a routine health screening at home.

​

Kidney Disease: Abnormal levels of protein, blood, or other substances in urine can indicate kidney problems.

​

Liver Disease: Elevated levels of bilirubin or urobilinogen in urine may indicate liver damage or disease.
