A urine sample is needed. Your health care provider will tell you what type of urine sample is needed. Two common methods of collecting urine are 24-hour urine collection and clean catch urine specimen.
The sample is sent to a lab, where it is examined for the following: Physical color and appearance: The urine specific gravity test reveals how concentrated or dilute the urine is. Microscopic appearance: Chemical appearance (urine chemistry): The test involves only normal urination, and there is no discomfort. If a home test is used, the person reading the results must be able to tell the difference between different colors, since the results are interpreted using a color chart.
