Urinalysis and Fecalysis
Urinalysis and fecalysis examine urine and stool specimens to provide information that may support the assessment of urinary concerns, digestive symptoms, infection, parasites, bleeding, and other medical conditions.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, these tests may be requested during a consultation, preventive check-up, emergency assessment, hospital admission, or treatment follow-up.
Proper specimen collection is important. Patients should use the correct container, avoid contamination, follow timing and storage instructions, and submit the specimen within the period provided by the laboratory.
