What is this?

Urine tests are a vital diagnostic tool in assessing urological health.

At The Day Clinic in Cambridge, we offer a full range of urine analysis services to detect and monitor conditions affecting the kidneys, bladder, prostate, and urinary tract.

By examining the contents and characteristics of a urine sample, we can identify signs of infection, blood, protein, sugar, or abnormal cells, all of which may indicate underlying health issues. Urine tests are commonly used alongside other investigations, such as blood tests or imaging, to form a complete picture of a patient’s urological health.

Our experienced clinical team ensures a discreet, professional process with clear guidance and prompt results. Urine testing is quick, non-invasive, and plays an essential role in early detection and ongoing monitoring of urological conditions.

Urine tests help detect and monitor:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Blood in the urine (haematuria)
Kidney function concerns
Prostate conditions
Bladder abnormalities

The Consultation

Before your urine test at The Day Clinic in Cambridge, you’ll have a consultation with one of our urology specialists or clinical team members. This ensures the correct type of urine analysis is selected for your specific concerns.

During the consultation, we’ll review your medical history and discuss any symptoms such as frequent urination, pain, unusual odours, discolouration, or incontinence. Based on your discussion, your clinician may recommend specific tests such as:

Urine dipstick test
Microscopic urine analysis
Urine culture (for bacterial infections)
Cytology (to detect abnormal cells)

The consultation is also an opportunity to discuss whether additional tests, such as blood work or imaging, may be beneficial. Our aim is to provide comprehensive, tailored care while maintaining clarity and discretion throughout your patient journey.

The Procedure

Urine sample collection at The Day Clinic is simple and straightforward. You’ll be provided with a sterile container and clear instructions on how to collect your midstream urine sample (MSU), which helps ensure accurate results.

Typically, the process takes 5-10 minutes. Depending on the test required, the sample may be analysed on-site using dipstick analysis or sent to a laboratory for more detailed examination. For example, urine cultures to detect infections or cytology tests to screen for abnormal cells may take slightly longer to process, usually 24-72 hours.

There’s no additional discomfort involved, and you can resume your daily activities immediately after providing your sample. Our team ensures complete privacy and hygiene throughout the procedure.

Aftercare & Results

There is no aftercare required following a urine test. Once your sample is analysed, results are reviewed by our urology team. You’ll be contacted promptly, typically within 24-72 hours depending on the type of test performed.

Our specialist will provide a clear explanation of your results and, if necessary, recommend further investigations or treatments. For example:

A positive result for infection may lead to antibiotic treatment.
Detection of blood in the urine (haematuria) may prompt imaging or cystoscopy.
Abnormal cells found during cytology may require further diagnostic follow-up.

At The Day Clinic in Cambridge, we ensure that every patient receives clear, personalised guidance following their test, supporting both diagnosis and long-term urological health.

  I am full of praise for Mr Abood, his team and his clinic. It is a friendly, welcoming environment with ample (and free!) parking. The staff are caring and empathetic, the procedure was straightforward and I felt as though my wellbeing was prioritised at all times. I cannot recommend them highly enough and would definitely return. The care I received before, during and after the procedure was excellent, and it was an overall positive experience.

  Yesterday, I attended the Day Clinic for the removal of several moles/lesions. I cannot speak highly enough of the treatment I received and the outstanding way in which it was delivered.
This is my second visit to Mr Abood's Clinic, so there was no apprehension nor doubt that the experience would again exceed expectation.
I found Mr Abood to be highly skilled and knowledgeable, personable and caring. I felt instantly at ease in his care and had absolute confidence in his professionalism and expertise.
A special mention to Rachael too, who was equally welcoming, attentive and very kind.
I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Abood and his superlative Team.
With grateful thanks
Deborah Daniel.

  The website of Mr Abood promises an individual and bespoke approach to care, and this is exactly what was delivered; from contacting Justine initially and then having the procedure with Mr Abood.  I cannot recommend highly enough the professionalism, assurance and personalised care that Mr Abood and his Team provide.

Potential Risks

Urine testing is entirely non-invasive and carries virtually no risk. However, it’s important to note:

Miscollected samples can lead to inaccurate results.
Delay in sample analysis may affect accuracy (we ensure timely processing).
Positive results may require further, more invasive testing for full diagnosis.

Our team provides clear instructions to minimise these issues and ensures samples are handled quickly and securely.
