24 Hour Urine Collection
Patient Education Guides: 24 Hour Urine Collection
A complete collection is necessary for an accurate test result.
PROCEDURE
1. The laboratory will provide a 24-hour urine collection container. Some collections require the addition of acid as a preservative. The preservatives can cause irritation on the skin if splashed or spilled. Never urinate directly into the container. Keep container upright and keep out of reach of children.
