Urinalysis

Urine appearance and color; Routine urine test What the risks are There are no risks. Special considerations If a home test is used, the person reading the results must not have impaired color vision, as the results are interpreted using a color chart. Some drugs change the color of urine, but this does not indicate disease. Some of these are chloroquine, iron supplements, levodopa, nitrofurantoin, phenazopyridine, phenothiazines, phenytoin, riboflavin, and triamterene.
