Often, substances such as protein or glucose appear in the urine even before obvious disorders appear. It is a self-diagnostic screening that goes to assess the client's liver, kidney, and pancreatic function for the prevention of infectious conditions of the urogenital tract, metabolic disorders, and the condition of the client's carbohydrate metabolism. The objective is to detect and measure the concentration of substances generally absent or present in low amounts in the urine.<g id=\"0\"/>This, is possible thanks to the use of a machine (Urilyzer) through semi-quantitative tests (we are going to detect the presence of substances not normally present in the urine and to generically grade their concentration) for the evaluation of different analytes present in the urine sample. Urine check is a non-invasive and risk-free test, it is performed by analyzing a sample of the first morning urine within four hours of urination (an important detail for good results).";
