What is a urinalysis?

A urinalysis is a test of a urine sample. It helps a veterinarian check kidney function and look for signs of infection, crystals, diabetes and other problems. Source: Merck Veterinary Manual.

What are biopsy and histopathology?

A biopsy removes a small tissue sample, such as from a lump. Histopathology is the microscopic examination of that tissue, which helps identify what the abnormal tissue is and guides treatment. Source: Merck Veterinary Manual.
