No: Unfortunately no such tests exist at this time. Prostatitis may show some changes in urine. If gall stones obstruct the main bile duct and cause jaundice ;then urine test will detect increased bilirubin in urine

No: Prostate ca does not show up on a urine exam.It is diagnosed by a combination of a digital rectal exam, a blood test ( psa ) , and finally a biopsy of the prostate. An abnormal gall bladder does show up in the blood, an abnormal physical exam, and many times requires additional x-rays or other imaging tests.
