Urinalysis May Provide Clues To Medical Problems.
In "Personal Health," the New York Times
(1/3, D7, Brody, Subscription Publication) discusses urinalysis,
noting that "the color, clarity and other physical characteristics of
urine, as well as substances dissolved in it, can provide clues to a
wide range of problems, including infections, inherited metabolic
disorders, kidney disease, bladder cancer, diabetes, substance abuse,
exposure to toxins, inadequate or excessive fluid intake and, as many
competing athletes know all too well, the use of
performance-enhancing drugs."
