Urinalysis is a diagnostic procedure involving the evaluation of a pet’s urine to identify underlying health issues. This test can reveal vital information about kidney function, urinary tract health, hydration levels and potential systemic diseases such as diabetes or infections. Common urinalysis tests include physical examination of urine, chemical analysis, and microscopic examination to detect abnormalities like crystals, blood or bacteria.
At our Cairns veterinary clinics, we offer comprehensive urinalysis services with the convenience of an in-house laboratory. This allows our team of Cairns vets to rapidly assess your pet’s health and provide a prompt diagnosis. In most cases, results are available the same day, allowing for swift treatment decisions.
Urinalysis is often used alongside other diagnostic tools like blood tests, as well as thorough physical examinations, to give us a complete picture of your pet’s condition.
