Urine tests can allow diagnosis and monitoring of medical conditions, such as diabetes, urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, and can also be used to test for pregnancy. A sample of urine is collected and can be analysed using a rapid urine test (dipstick), pregnancy tests, or sent to a laboratory for urinalysis.
