Urinalysis

Measured in dipstick + microscopic

A direct look at what your kidneys are letting through — protein, sugar, blood, ketones, infection markers and concentration.

What the numbers mean

These are the ranges BioForge works to. They are not the same as a lab's reference range, which is built from the general population rather than from people who feel well.

Low
Specific gravity · <1.005 · Very dilute
Optimal
All negative · SG 1.010–1.025 · pH 5.5–7.0
High
Protein, glucose, · blood, · nitrites or leukocytes · present

What moves Urinalysis

Protein can mean kidney strain, but also a hard workout or dehydration the day before. Blood needs a real explanation. Glucose appears when blood sugar runs above roughly 180. Trace findings on one sample are common and are repeated rather than acted on.
