What Are The Parameters Checked In Urine Analysis?

Hi, what are the purpose of an urine analysis for a student visa?
Do they look for drug abuses? I quit smoking weed 3 weeks ago, but I had been a heavy user, but I also have a fast metabolism, and I have been exercising a lot. Will I fail the test? I will take the test next thursday
thank you

Hello and thank you for asking Healthcaremagic.

I am Dr.Endri Katro and I will be answering at your questions.

A routine urine test is performed to check for an urinary tract infection, it will give also a lot of information about the function of your kidneys.
It checks for presence of sugar in urine. It the result is positive,it suggests for diabetes.

To be able to find if someone is/has used drugs, specific tests need to be done,not just a routine urine test. I think that you are safe since you quit smoking 3 weeks ago.

Regards.
