Symptoms that point to this test

When Do You Need This Test?

These are the symptoms and situations that indicate this test is the right next step.

🔥

Burning or stinging when urinating

Dysuria (painful urination) is the classic UTI symptom — a urine dipstick and culture confirms the diagnosis and identifies the sensitive antibiotic.

Urine dipstick + culture
🚽

Frequent urination

Increased urinary frequency with urgency may indicate UTI, bladder overactivity, diabetes (glycosuria causing polyuria), or prostate disease.

Urinalysis + blood sugar
🌫️

Cloudy or smelly urine

Cloudy urine usually indicates pyuria (white cells) from UTI or other inflammation; strong odour may also indicate infection or dehydration.

Urine dipstick + microscopy

Blood in urine

Haematuria — visible blood or blood on dipstick — needs investigation for UTI, kidney stones, prostate disease, or bladder tumour.

Urgent urine + abdominal scan

Suspected diabetes

Glycosuria (glucose in urine) on a dipstick is a strong indicator for undiagnosed diabetes — fasting blood sugar test should follow.

Urine glucose → blood sugar test

Antenatal urine monitoring

Urine tested at every antenatal visit for protein (pre-eclampsia), glucose (gestational diabetes), and infection (asymptomatic bacteriuria).

What it measures

What This Test Checks

Understanding what each component of the test measures helps you understand your results.

What the test measures

This test analyses a blood/urine sample to detect specific markers relevant to your symptoms and health status. Our doctor explains all results in the context of your clinical picture.

Evidence-based interpretation

Normal vs abnormal ranges

Reference ranges are age, sex, and clinical-context dependent. Our doctors interpret every result in context — not just against a printed range.

Personalised interpretation

Next steps

A result that requires further action triggers a management plan on the same visit — medication, further tests, or referral — so you leave with clarity, not just a piece of paper.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a urine dipstick test check?
A urine dipstick at Mascot Healthcare tests for: leukocytes (white cells — infection), nitrites (bacteria), protein (kidney disease), glucose (diabetes), blood (haematuria), ketones (starvation/ketosis), and pH. It takes 2 minutes and gives immediate results.
What is the difference between urinalysis and urine culture?
Urinalysis (dipstick and microscopy) gives rapid results and tells you if infection is likely. Urine culture identifies the specific bacteria and its antibiotic sensitivity — taking 24–48 hours. Both are available at Mascot Healthcare, and our doctor advises which (or both) you need.
