While blood and urine tests have been used in the medical profession for some time to screen for potential long-term health problems, companies now often use blood and urine tests on prospective employees as part of their process. health assessment, and although it is not commonplace in the UK, the number of companies using them is growing.
In America, a large number of jobs will require you to undergo such tests before starting a job, and such verifications will also be done annually, and some jobs will also require you to undergo random testing. This is done primarily to assess drug and alcohol use. (In the airline industry, some airlines are testing alcohol before every flight.)
However, on a much more positive note, blood and urine tests are one of the quickest ways to bring to light a wide variety of conditions you may be suffering from, such as glucose, kidney, kidney, or liver problems. As a result, if a doctor suspects that your discomfort is due to more than just a cold, they will perform a blood or urine test.
While some simple blood and urine tests can be done virtually instantly, others cannot, and used to be sent for testing, or so far.
Recent advances in medical technology now mean that physicians have access to desktop-sized urinalysis machines, which in just a few seconds after the doctor enters the urine sample, can in just a minute give results for leukocytes, nitrite, urobilinogen, protein levels, pH levels, blood type, specific gravity, ketone, bilirubin and glucose levels.
This is an incredible revolution in technology, putting “hospital only” urine testing within the reach of physicians.
These modern urinalysis machines are virtually foolproof and require very little maintenance and are in fact self-testing to make sure they are always calibrated correctly and therefore urinalysis results can be trusted at all times.
They work very simply by testing a special strip that is dipped into the urine sample and then placed in the machine. Then in a minute or less the results are printed, a copy can even be made for the patient to take with them for their peace of mind, or if they wish to seek a second opinion.
These new urinalysis machines have revolutionized the way urinalysis is performed.
