Urine test

They are checking for signs of protein in the urine.
 
They are testing the filtration ability of your kidneys ie mine is now at 50% due to age and long standing diabetes with a lack of good control early on
 
I was told too it is to test if there is Protein or Glucose in the water
 
Not a yearly one, but they tested mine for bacteria for some other condition, and found sugar instead, argh, diabetes.
 
I have regular urine tests done. I'm not sure what was abnormal in your test? For me every single test they've done on me for the past few years has been abnormal because of high leucocytes. This usually indicates infection, but it's not the case with me. I have been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and see a urologist. I get sugar in my urine too sometimes and they check for proteins.
