Final answer:

At every prenatal visit, urine tests are performed to check for protein and glucose levels as well as assess pH and specific gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

At every prenatal visit, the urine tests performed are:

  1. Protein and glucose: These tests look for the presence of abnormal levels of protein or glucose in the urine, which can indicate potential kidney or gestational diabetes problems.
  2. pH and specific gravity: These tests assess the acidity/alkalinity and concentration of the urine, which can provide information about the overall kidney function.
