Special Info

If Hemoglobin/Blood, Leukocyte Esterase and/or Protein is/are positive, then Microscopic Analysis will be performed and billed. Protein measurements from UA on visibly bloody samples will be reported as: "Visible blood causes falsely elevated results for analyte Protein. Due to this limitation, Protein will not be reported for patients whose urine contains visible blood".
