The analysis of urine is a valuable diagnostic tool because its composition reflects the functioning of many body systems, particularly the [[kidney]]s and [[urinary system]], and specimens are easy to obtain.{{sfn|Brunzel|2018|pp=19β22}} Common urine tests include the routine [[urinalysis]], which examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of the urine; [[urine drug screen]]ing; and [[urine pregnancy test]]ing.
