The Twenty-Four-Hour Urine Collection
Captions available
The idea
A twenty-four-hour urine collection gathers all urine over a full day, because some substances vary through the day.
In practice
The patient receives a special container and the lab's instructions for how to collect and store the samples.
Where people slip
Go over the lab's start, stop and storage instructions with the patient, because a missed sample spoils the whole collection.
