Urine chemical testing is performed as part of a routine random urinalysis with semiquantitative results reported that indicate a range for the analyte values. In some disease states, it is necessary to obtain results that are more specific, with a specific number reported for the chemical concentration rather than a range, This type of quantitative urine chemistry testing is performed at reference or large house-tal laboratories, but not in physician office laboratories, These quantitative urine tests may be used to screen for kidney damage caused by diabetes, hypertension, or other disease processes. Urine may also be analyzed to research the cause of renal calculi (kidney stone) formation. Common quantitative testsperformed on urine specimens include microalbumin, total protein, and creatinine. A timed urine specimen (such as a 24-hour urine specimen) is generally used for these tests.
