title: The significance of urine testing.
abstract: The examination of urine to discover the nature, causes and prognoses of diseases was one of the earliest procedures to be adopted by physicians. Today, urine testing remains an important aid in diagnosing and monitoring disease and treatment, and in helping to provide clues to a patient's health and wellbeing. June Thompson discusses the value of this nursing procedure.
