24-hour urine collection

Before collecting the sample, it is important that you read and fully understand the instructions. If you have any questions, please contact us.

It is important that you follow these instructions to ensure the sample is collected correctly:

For the test requested by your doctor, you need to collect a 24-hour urine sample. This sample includes all urine collected over a full day and night.

Use specific containers. You can buy them at a pharmacy.

The first urine of the morning after getting up, between 7:00 and 8:00 am, should not be collected. From that moment onwards, you must collect all urine passed during the day and night, including the first urine of the following morning after getting up.

The sample must be kept in the refrigerator throughout the collection period.

It should be delivered to the laboratory as soon as possible.
