A Urine Complete Examination (UCE), also known as a Urine Routine Test, is a simple yet powerful diagnostic tool that offers insights into your kidney function, urinary tract health, and metabolic state. For individuals living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, regular urine testing is essential for early detection of complications that can progress silently.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The eGFR test is calculated using your serum creatinine level, age and gender. It estimates how much blood your kidneys filter each minute. A normal eGFR reflects healthy kidney function, whereas a low eGFR may indicate chronic kidney disease (CKD) or kidney damage due to diabetes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The urine routine test for diabetes analyses the physical, chemical and microscopic properties of a urine sample. It includes:<\/p>

  • Appearance and colour<\/li>
  • Specific gravity and pH<\/li>
  • Detection of glucose, protein, ketones, blood<\/li>
  • Microscopic examination for red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), pus cells, casts, and crystals<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    High blood sugar can impair kidney filtering capacity and increase susceptibility to urinary tract infections (UTIs). The UCE test in diabetes is useful for:<\/p>

    • Detecting protein in urine, an early marker of diabetic kidney disease<\/li>
    • Identifying glucose in urine, which signals poor blood sugar control<\/li>
    • Spotting ketones in urine, a sign of uncontrolled diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis<\/li>
    • Diagnosing UTIs, which are more common in people with uncontrolled blood glucose levels<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
