Didn’t make an appointment walked in with a suspected UTI, got waited on right away, front office staff was very friendly and welcoming, waited a few minutes to be seen by professional staff. Dr. & assistant were professional, caring & very thoughtful. Both took their time asking questions and listening. Service was great.  Much easier than going to Drs. Office. I would absolutely recommend this provider.

I was a walk-in this morning after a migraine did not respond to my prescription. There was only one person ahead of me, and the check-in process was very easy, and I signed one treatment document. I was brought right into an exam room, my vitals were taken, and my description of the migraine was noted by a very kind nurse. The doctor came in just a few minutes later, was very empathetic and caring, explained my treatment plan and the medications she was sending to my pharmacy. I just had to wait another for my printed clinical summary and I was feeling better and on my way home. I would 100% recommend Armistice Urgent Care.

Rhode Island Urinalysis Tests

A urinalysis is a test that looks for chemicals in the urine that could suggest an ailment, disease, or infection. The majority of urine tests necessitate urinating into a sterile cup, which is subsequently sent to a lab for additional investigation. Depending on the ailment for which you are being tested, at-home urine tests may be offered.

A urine test may be used as part of a standard medical examination to detect or rule out disorders like diabetes, kidney disease, and urinary tract infections. It can also be used to confirm pregnancy or detect blood or kidney stones.

A urinalysis evaluates the color, odor, appearance, and acidity level of your urine, among other things. Your urine may also be tested for the presence of germs and bacteria, cells and crystals, and chemicals such as protein, glucose, and ketones that aren't normally found in urine but could signal a problem.

Urine tests normally don't require any preparation, although the urinalysis testing provider may inquire about any prescription or over-the-counter medications you're taking, as some of them may influence the color of your urine. The testing provider may also advise that you go to the lab or clinic early in the morning to do the test, which is what you should do.

You will be asked to deliver a tiny urine sample into a sterile cup for a urine test performed at a lab or clinic. To prevent microorganisms from contaminating the sample, your doctor or urinalysis testing provider may advise you to wash your vaginal area with mild soap and water before the test. Your urine sample will then be analyzed in a lab to see if there are any abnormalities that could suggest illness or disease.

Depending on the type of urine test taken, results can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days to arrive. If required, your doctor or the urinalysis testing provider may contact you directly to discuss your results and treatment options.
