protein, sugar or blood in the urine are signs of illness. It's routine.

They are normally checking for signs of infection. Also there are very quick tests that can be done on urine to check the general health of a person.

The urinalysis just checks some very basic things. A pregnancy test is NOT one that is done routinely.
Not all GYN's do this, mine used to but doesn't anymore. My previous never did.
