Introduction
In this video, Dr. Yogesh Kaje, a consultant urologist, andrologist, and kidney transplant surgeon at Sahayadri Hospital in Pune, discusses the common benefits of a simple laboratory test known as routine urinalysis.
Detection Of Pus Cells
The first benefit of routine urinalysis is its ability to detect pus cells in the urine. The presence of pus cells can indicate a kidney or urinary tract infection, providing valuable information that aids doctors in treatment decisions.
Identification Of Blood Cells
Secondly, the presence of red blood cells (RBCs) in the urine can be indicative of kidney cancer or cancer in the urinary tract. If a patient has kidney stones, RBCs may also be detected in the urine. This information is crucial for the detection of kidney stones and cancers.
Monitoring Glucose Levels
The third benefit is the detection of glucose in the urine, which may suggest the possibility of diabetes mellitus.
Assessment Of pH Levels
Fourthly, the pH level of bodily fluids, including urine, is typically within a specific range. If the kidneys fail to maintain this pH balance, abnormalities can be quickly detected through a urine test. Monitoring pH levels can be highly beneficial for doctors in managing patients’ health.
Detection Of Retrograde Ejaculation
Lastly, routine urinalysis can also assist in diagnosing retrograde ejaculation, a condition where semen flows backward into the bladder instead of exiting through the penis. This is particularly useful for patients experiencing this issue.
Conclusion
In conclusion, this video highlights the five main benefits of routine urinalysis.
