Ordering Guidance
Necessary Information
1. 24-Hour volume (in milliliters) is required.
2. Patient's height in centimeters and weight in kilograms are required if patient is younger than 18 years.
Specimen Required
Patient Preparation:
X-ray dyes and contrast media will affect uric acid test results.
-If a kidney X-ray with dye or computerized tomography (CT) scan with contrast has been performed, patient should wait a minimum of 1 day before starting collection.
-If a cholangiography (bile duct X-ray) has performed, patient should wait 7 days before starting collection.
-Urine must be collected before tablets have been taken for gallbladder X-ray, otherwise patient should wait 7 days before starting collection.
Supplies: Diazolidinyl Urea (Germall) 5.0 mL (T822)
Collection Container/Tube: 24-hour graduated urine container with no metal cap or glued insert
Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 60-mL urine bottle
Specimen Volume: 35 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Add 5 mL of diazolidinyl urea as preservative at start of collection or refrigerate specimen during and after collection.
2. Collect urine for 24 hours.
3. Specimen pH should be between 4.5 and 8 and will stay in this range if diazolidinyl urea is added at the beginning of the collection or kept refrigerated during the entirety of the collection. Specimens with pH above 8 indicate bacterial contamination, and testing will be canceled. Do not attempt to adjust pH as it will adversely affect results.
4. If not using Germall, the specimen must be kept refrigerated during the entirety of the collection and sent frozen.
Additional Information: See Urine Preservatives-Collection and Transportation for 24-Hour Urine Specimens for multiple collections.
