Samples of urine are routinely collected for urinalysis as part of an exam for kidney stones. Standard urinalysis evaluates the urine for physical characteristics, chemical composition, and presence of substances such as bacteria that may indicate infection or blood. Blood in the urine is often not visible to the naked eye. Urine is also filtered to look for small kidney stones.
