Urinalysis with Reflex to Microscopic
Also known as: Macroscopic Reflexes Microscopic IF, U/A, UA and Clean Catch, UA and Midstream, UA Reflex
Use

Limitations
Limitations not explicitly detailed on the site; however reflex depends on initial screen results and insufficient volume or compromised specimen integrity (e.g., bloody or mucoid) may alter reflex logic or result in manual reflex variants ([intellitestmanager.questdiagnostics.com](https://intellitestmanager.questdiagnostics.com/home/output/238707?utm_source=openai)).
