As an essential indicator of changes in condition, urine output is a direct reflection of some diseases (such as kidney disease, heart failure, all kinds of edema). 24 hours urine test results are so important that physical test like creatinine clearance, proteinuria, endocrine and metabolic conditions and other relevant checks, should stay 24 hours urine. Whether to stay a good 24 hours urine, will directly affect the accuracy of test results. Therefore, 24-hour urine specimens were collected to grasp two points.
Discard the first urinary bladder emptying in patients wake up first (the urinary bladder emptying remember voiding time, such as 6:15), stay in the urine of the morning's first urine Urine was previously generated, should do not abandon, start time, the discharged urine is 24 hours all stored in a container.
The last time the urine leaving the next morning to be the last time urination accurate, it must be the first time yesterday, urinating at the same time (eg 6:15), this should be excreted in urine specimens rather than abandonment, if the next morning voiding time may be more than a predetermined time, can be the first to drink a glass of water, so that time is just a urine; specified time if the patient needs for the first 20 minutes to urinate, must adhere to it, so just completed within the specified time urination.
Number of how many each urination is not important, important is the patient is discharged within 24 hours during the middle of every drop of urine, urinating Do not rinse the container, because the water dilution can affect test results. If in this patient within 24 hours to a bowel movement, you should urinate, do not miss the small amount of urine to be collected, and then a bowel movement, try not mixed with feces in the urine.
