What is this test?

This laboratory test is performed on urine. The compressed code includes an apparent urine-specimen abbreviation, but the remaining characters cannot be reliably decoded into a specific substance or test method.

Why might I need this test?

Urine tests may be used to evaluate kidney function, detect substances such as protein, blood, glucose, hormones, or drugs, and monitor certain medical conditions. The reason for this particular test cannot be identified until the analyte is confirmed.

How is the test performed?

A urine sample is collected and analyzed in the laboratory. Depending on the test, the laboratory may examine the urine with a reagent strip, a chemical method, a microscope, or an automated instrument.

How do I prepare for the test?

Follow the collection instructions provided by the laboratory. Some urine tests require a first-morning sample, a clean-catch sample, or collection over a specific period, so confirm the instructions before collecting the specimen.

Clinical interpretation

How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

The meaning of an abnormal result depends on the substance being measured. Results may reflect a medical condition, temporary changes such as exercise, hydration, medications, or diet, or a collection or handling issue. Review the result with a healthcare professional who knows the specific test and your clinical situation.

Frequently asked questions

What substance does this urine test measure?
The analyte cannot be determined confidently from the compressed code. The laboratory or ordering clinician should be able to confirm the full test name.
Do I need to fast before this test?
Fasting requirements depend on the specific analyte. Do not fast unless the laboratory or your clinician specifically instructs you to do so.
How is the urine sample collected?
The sample is usually collected in a sterile laboratory-provided container. Follow the laboratory's instructions regarding timing and clean-catch collection to reduce the chance of an inaccurate result.
