When to perform a urine test?

Beyond basic prevention, a general urine test and consultation with a doctor should be considered by those who:

• feel a burning sensation or pain when urinating,
• feel a sense of constant urge to urinate or have difficulty urinating,
• notice a disturbing urine color (such as red or brown), clouding or other changes.

The urinalysis will provide important information so that the doctor can order therapeutic treatment and other laboratory tests.

• Test results are available within one working day.
• The possibility of collecting the test results in a medical facility or its partner facility, as indicated during the purchase – ask for details at the reception desk or in the blood collection point.
• The particular medical facilities make it possible for the test results to be accessed online. For this to be possible, it is necessary to visit the reception desk/information point of the chosen facility in order to confirm such a functionality and receive information on how to gain online access to the test results.
