## What does the Urinalysis, Complete test tell you?

Comprehensive urine analysis covering kidney function, UTIs, diabetes, and more.

A complete urinalysis examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of your urine. It can detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, liver problems, and dehydration. The test evaluates color, clarity, pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, leukocytes, and examines the urine sediment under a microscope.

**Clinical use:** A complete urinalysis screens the urine three ways — physical appearance, a ten-part chemical dipstick (glucose, protein, blood, ketones, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, pH and specific gravity) and a microscopic exam for cells, casts, crystals and bacteria. It is the first-line test for urinary tract infection symptoms, kidney disease screening and monitoring diabetes or hypertension for early kidney involvement.

## Who should order it?

Anyone with burning, urgency or frequency who wants an objective look before or instead of a clinic visit; people with diabetes or high blood pressure checking for protein or glucose in the urine; those monitoring kidney disease; and anyone who noticed a change in urine color, odor or foaming.

## How much does a Urinalysis, Complete test cost?

A Urinalysis, Complete test costs $17.99 at TestWell — $23.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Ordered directly from the labs' own consumer sites, the same test lists at $49.00 at Labcorp OnDemand (list prices checked Sep 12, 2026). Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $60.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.

## Common questions about the Urinalysis, Complete test

### What does "urinalysis, complete with reflex to culture" mean — and does this test include the culture?

"Reflex to culture" is a lab rule: if the urinalysis shows signs of infection — positive nitrite or leukocyte esterase, or white cells and bacteria on the microscopic exam — the lab automatically ("reflexively") sets up a urine culture on the same sample, then identifies the organism and tests which antibiotics it responds to. The culture is billed as a second test. TestWell's Urinalysis, Complete ($17.99) is the urinalysis with microscopy only — Quest 5463 or Labcorp 003772 — so there is no automatic add-on and no surprise charge. If you want the reflex version, TestWell sells it as a separate product: [Urinalysis, Complete, with Reflex to Culture](https://www.test-well.com/tests/urinalysis-with-reflex-to-culture) at Quest, where the culture runs automatically only if the urinalysis is abnormal, at no additional charge to you. If you already suspect a UTI and want the organism and antibiotic sensitivities regardless, order the [Urine Culture](https://www.test-well.com/tests/urine-culture-routine) alongside; every option comes from one clean-catch sample.

### What does a complete urinalysis check for?

Ten chemistries on the dipstick — glucose (diabetes), protein (kidney damage), blood, ketones, bilirubin and urobilinogen (liver and red-cell breakdown), nitrite and leukocyte esterase (infection), pH and specific gravity (concentration) — plus a microscopic examination that counts red and white blood cells, epithelial cells, bacteria, casts and crystals. Together they point toward infection, kidney disease, dehydration, uncontrolled diabetes or a kidney stone, and tell your clinician which follow-up test is worth ordering.

### How do I collect the sample, and do I need to fast?

No fasting. At the patient service center you will be given a sterile cup: wash your hands, clean the area with the wipe provided, start urinating into the toilet, then catch the middle portion of the stream (a "midstream clean-catch"). A first-morning sample is the most concentrated and best for detecting protein, but any time of day works. Avoid heavy exercise the day before (it can cause transient protein and blood) and tell your clinician about vitamin C or beet intake, which can affect the dipstick.

### What is the CPT code for a complete urinalysis?

CPT 81001 — urinalysis by automated dipstick with microscopy. (81003 is dipstick only, without microscopy; a reflexed urine culture adds 87086, and 87088/87186 for identification and sensitivities.) The lab codes for TestWell's test are Quest 5463 and Labcorp 003772.

### How much does a urinalysis cost without insurance?

$17.99 on TestWell, all-in, with the physician order included and results in 1–3 business days. Billed through a hospital or urgent-care lab the same test typically runs about $60 before the visit charge. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
