Blood Drug Testing

What do they test for when they do a urine test at the hospital?

I went into the hospital because my back was hurting so they gave me a urine test to check my kidneys. What exactly does the urine test, test for when they are looking at your kidneys?

1. Thc
2. 1] urinalysis tests for: dehydration pH [ how acidic/alkaline your urine is ] sugar [ sign of diabetes ] protein [ poss infection, kidney damage, etc. ] blood [ infection, damage ] etc. 2] routine tests do not test for any drugs
3. They test for whatever the doctor ordered on the test slip. Probably a routine urinalyisis, culture and sensitivity. http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/urinalysis/test.html http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/urine_culture/test.html
