what do urine tests at a children's doctors office test for?

glucose in the urine - diabetes
protein in the urine - kidney problems
blood in the urine - kidneyproblems/infection
leucokytes in the urine (white blood cells) - infection (kidney, bladder, urinary tract infection)

The sugar check is for diabetes screening. The protein check is for urinary tract infections.
They can also tell a lot about how the body/blood chemstry is functioning by analysing urine.

One thing is protien, an excess can indicate a kidney issue.
