CCBMA Clinical Practice Exam

Urinalysis is the study of urine, including its chemical constituents. It encompasses evaluating the urine’s physical properties, chemical composition, and microscopic content. The chemical portion uses tests that detect substances such as glucose, protein, ketones, bilirubin, pH, and others. Interpreting these findings helps identify conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, liver issues, infections, and metabolic imbalances. The other terms focus on different body fluids or systems: hematology deals with blood, immunology with the immune system, and serology with antibodies in serum.
