Re: Urine Sample
I remember seeing a chart somewhere that listed all of the things they check for during the pilot medical. I searched my internets a bit, but couldn't find it.
I know they check the calcium level. A high calcium level would indicate kidney stones. And if you pass a kidney stone while flying a plane, you'd be totally incapacitated because of the pain.

I was told they checking for sugar to check for diabetes, but I didn't inquire further, probably more than just that.
