Urine tests: Medical tests of the urine
Introduction: The urine may contain various substances for different types of disease. For example, sugar in urine may mean diabetes and blood in urine may mean various kidney conditions. Thus, a variety of diseases have urine tests.

  • Mid-stream urine test

Infant urine tests: Collecting urine from an infant is more difficult than for older children or adults. However, collection can be done via a strap-on urine collector worn underneath the diaper. Although more convenient than following your toddler around with a jug, this method does cause higher rates of contamination.
