Urinalysis

Alternative Names:

Urine appearance and color; Routine urine test
What the risks are:

There are no risks.


Special considerations:

If a home test is used, the person reading the results must not have impaired color vision, as the results are interpreted using a color chart.

Some drugs change the color of urine, but this does not indicate disease. Some of these are chloroquine, iron supplements, levodopa, nitrofurantoin, phenazopyridine, phenothiazines, phenytoin, riboflavin, and triamterene.
