Accurate diagnosis is key to effective urologic treatment. Symptoms alone may be misleading, so LIV Hospital uses advanced tests, from lab work to imaging and endoscopy, to identify the cause. Our team guides you through every step, ensuring clarity and confidence, whether for routine screening or complex evaluations.
Routine Screenings: Non-invasive tests that help detect infections, kidney issues, and early signs of cancer, providing a snapshot of internal health.
This is the most fundamental test in urology. It involves analyzing a urine sample for abnormalities.
For men, this is a crucial screening tool for prostate health. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland.
These tests measure how well your kidneys are filtering waste from your blood.
When basic screenings do not provide enough information, your urologist may recommend advanced functional testing. These tests look at how the urinary tract is working, rather than just its structure. They are essential for diagnosing incontinence, retention, and blockage issues.
This is a series of tests used to assess how well your bladder and urethra hold and release urine.
This is a simple, non-invasive test that measures the speed and volume of your urine stream.
This measures the amount of urine left in the bladder after you go to the bathroom.
To see “inside” the body without surgery, urologists rely on sophisticated imaging technology. These scans help locate kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and structural defects. At LIV Hospital, we use high-resolution imaging to ensure no detail is missed.
This uses sound waves to create images of the kidneys, bladder, and testicles.
This is a specialized CT scan focused on the urinary tract.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed soft-tissue images.
This is an X-ray test often used in children or adults with recurrent infections.

Cystoscopy procedure is one of the most common and important diagnostic methods in urology. It allows the doctor to look directly inside the urethra and bladder using a thin camera.
Proper preparation is vital for accurate test results. Your “urology diagnosis” journey runs smoother when you know what to do beforehand. Always follow the specific instructions given by your LIV Hospital care team, but here are general guidelines.
Prostate Biopsy: Stop blood thinners, take prescribed antibiotics, and use a bowel prep/enema.
Once the evaluations are complete, your urologist will review the findings with you. Understanding what these results mean is the next step in your care plan.
