The urinalysis or UA determines the pH, specific gravity, glucose, bilirubin, lymphocytes and protein levels excreted. These results are helpful in the diagnosis of disease, hydration and infection in the bladder. A culture and sensitivity test C&S is performed on urine to determine the infectious agent and which antibiotics are susceptible or resistant to it so an effective antibiotic can be prescribed.
