How long for test results on urinalysis test?

Answer:

There are several different kinds of urine analysis test (UAs). But depending if the test is being conducted in house, or sent out will determine the turn-around time.

If it is for the detection of drugs, these tests typically provide a result right away within 10 seconds to a few minutes.

If it is for other health issues many UAs can be done in house within a few minutes, however if a test warrants a closer look most likely it will be sent to a lab for further analysis using specialized analysis. This could take a long as a few days in the queue to be tested by the lab and then depending on what they are testing for and whether they need to culture the sample will depend on how long until they get back to you.

Most of the time a lab should have results within a few days of receiving the sample.
