Study Notes
Urine Production and Function
- Urine is produced by the kidneys, which filter wastes out of the blood, regulate the amount of water in the body, and conserve proteins, electrolytes, and other compounds.
- The kidneys eliminate anything that is not needed in the urine.
Urinalysis
- Urinalysis is a lab test used to detect cells and substances in the urine.
- The test helps screen for and diagnose urinary tract disorders and other diseases.
