The Urinalysis Reddit

A urinalysis (UA), also known as routine and microscopy (R&M), is an array of tests performed on urine, and one of the most common methods of medical diagnosis. The word is a portmanteau of the words urine and analysis. The target parameters that can be measured or quantified in urinalysis include many substances and cells, as well as other properties, such as specific gravity. A part of a urinalysis can be performed by using urine test strips, in which the test results can be read as color changes. Another method is light microscopy of urine samples.

What does this mean?

They also said my urine was cloudy and had trace amounts of protein. I originally went to hospital for abdomen and back pain. This was 3 days ago, but they never called me back about my results. I had to find this on their website. Does that mean I'm okay?

Has anyone used HHC and passed their drug screen?

I did something dumb and bought a HHC cart. It was specifically "Laughing Buddha - Berries and Cream". I puffed on it at least 20 times last night. The package says this product may cause a positive drug test. I didn't think much of it because it is a reputable company and all carts usually have that warning. I actually got very high. I am pretty scared. I am just wondering if I will need to flood my system with water and exercise? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Uti and protein

I went to see a doctor because of mild lower right pain. I thought it was appendicitis so the doctor told me to do some urinalysis and ultrasound. My ultrasound were normal, all normal size and no stones.But my urinalysis shows that there was many bacteria, 0-2hpf rbc, 5-10hpf pus cells and trace in protein. Doctor told me that i have UTI and gave me antibiotics twice a day for 7 days. I had no idea it waa UTI because I dont have pain in urinating.

A day after finishing my course of antibiotics, I had my urinalysis again. The bacteria were few, pus cells is now 3-5hpf. But the rbc went higher 10-25hpf, and protein is 1+.

Is this because UTI is not yet fully healed? or is there other underlying cause?

Blood, ketone and crystals in urine?

Just did a urinalysis and it came back with moderate blood, trace ketone, 3-5 Rbc/hpf, amorphous and oxal crystals.

My symptoms are needed to pee 24/7. Constant even after voiding I still have the urge. Bacteria came back negative so it’s not a uti. Waiting on a follow up with my doctor but will be in a few weeks

Trying to figure out what is wrong as I’m constantly on the toilet all day peeing

Abnormal urinalysis

I went to the doctor because I had a weird sickness in December that kept having evolving symptoms. Started as a cold or sinus infection I caught from my kids. What was left was mostly joint and muscle pain.

When I did the urinalysis, I was currently in a healing crisis/body detox of sorts from acupuncture herbs, and I was having several bouts of diarrhea around the time of the test.

My uti was negative, but I have protein (30mg), “many” mucus threads, and hyaline casts (5) in my sample. And my epithelial cell count was 26. Bacterial was “occ”. Wbc was trace. Everything else came back normal on the urinalysis.

I realized I didn’t do a clean catch sample. I didn’t do midstream, didn’t clean beforehand, and I held the cup to my skin. I’ve never been taught this before, so hear with me.

How much does a clean catch affect these things? My doctor is giving me like a sentence a day so I’m getting more anxious for more information about this.

Per-employment drug screen question

I have a pre-employment drug screen coming up on Friday. I cannot have THC in my system. I abstained from any THC 2 months ago and am getting a negative result from an at-home test kit that I got at the dollar store. But I know that the rest they’ll give me at the doctor’s office is going to be far more sensitive than the ones I got at the dollar store. The test I will be given on Friday has a sensitivity level of 15 nanograms. The at home test kit that I’m getting a negative result from tests at a sensitivity of 50 nanograms. If I have 49ng of THC in my system I’m wondering, generally speaking, how long it takes to get down to >15. I know there are several factors that contribute to how quickly THC leaves your system. I have a pretty good BMI and i work for 12 hours a day at my current job at which I exert myself physically the whole time I’m there. I also have a fast metabolism. I also only smoked for about a month following a 2 month trip to Asia where THC is illegal. So I think I’m a good candidate for the level of THC in by system decreasing as quickly as humanly possible. I’m also wondering if maybe it could be plausible that I would have a concentration of THC in my system at ~15ng by simply being around people who smoke even though I don’t. My wife is a medical cannabis patient who sometimes smokes around me before bed. I called a place where I can pay out of pocket to get a drug screen that’s as sensitive as the one I’ll be getting at the doctor’s office. But unfortunately their turnaround time would be too long for me to use them. Thanks in advance for any input or insight on this matter.

Will I pass my UA?

I had a pre-employment urinalysis today. Here’s my back story. I have been using about 100 mg/day of delta 8 for year plus. 5 weeks ago I switched to 100 mg/day of an HHC gummy. I used this for 2 weeks and then stopped everything. Completely clean for 3 weeks during which I’ve drank a significant amount of cranberry juice along with lemon water. Some days fluids were > 2 gallons. I also did a 5 day “toxin” detox twice over 10 days total. I bought at home THC tests from Amazon and hadn’t been able to pop a negative yet. Today was my test and I had a friend who was clean pee into a 2 Oz bottle and I tucked it. Going in to the test I was handed a huge cup and told to fill it up half way. The 2 Oz didn’t even get me 1/4 full so I added about 1/3 of my urine to the sample to fill it up a bit more. Any chance I’m going to pass this thing?

Quick question regarding drug test!

I used to be a chronic smoker- 2 bong hits every day for the past couple years. I stopped smoking on the 31st of March and have a drug test on the 15th of May which gives me 45 days to be clean. I am 5’10’’ and 155lbs lean athlete who works out about 3-4 days a week. You guys think i can test negative in 45 days?

drug test taking time

I had to submit a sample for a drug test for a job as a janitor at a hospital. I gave the sample 7 days ago. Called in to the job to see what was taking so long. They said they are understaffed and my urine hasnt been tested yet. I vaped some delta 10 thc a week before the test, so should still be negative, bit seeing as it STILL hasn't been tested, what will the long wait do to my results?

Can someone help me with my urinalysis results please? A lot came back abnormal.

I had labs yesterday and I saw them online today and now I’m freaking out and worrying. RBC in urine is high, WBC in urine is high, proteins high, ketones high, urine mucous high, and bacteria high.

It seems like a lot more was abnormal than was normal.. I have been having issues since Covid with having urge to urinate very frequently. To the point of it being super annoying.

I’ve had a UTI this past year.. could this be another UTI or does this seem a little more serious?

I’m mostly worried about the high proteins.. it shows 4+.

Only been with one person sexually in the past 6 months, so I do not think it’s STI either..

Any guesses? I’m gonna worry myself like crazy until I get a phone call from dr. TIA.

Realtime delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol level idea

I was wondering is there a method that could be employed to actively monitor delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol levels in urine so as to determine ng/ml content.

My idea is instead of a 50ng/ml pass fail. A person would have a better idea of their urine concentration at a given time.

Ashwagandha

Hello, would ashwagandha come out as a false positive for drugs on a test? Would it make me fail? How about theanine?

Urinalysis

When you go to medical for a uti and they take a urinalysis. Does the doctor see drug use? Or only information for the infection? Is a drug panel a completely different test? Or he can see everything?

Turn Around Time Army Drug Test Results

I took a drug test on 30 SEP 19. I’m pretty sure I passed - took 30mg Adderall 68 hours prior. I diluted by drinking a gallon and a half of water up to an hour before the test. You don’t fail for dilution in the Army. I should be at around 60ng/ml if my math is right. Cut off is 500ng/ml total amphetamines and 100ng/ml dextroamphetamines.

I just need to know how long till the results come back. Suspense is killing me.

Update - I passed!!!
