24-Hour Urine Collection

Patient should maintain usual liquid intake unless otherwise instructed by the physician. No alcoholic beverages should be consumed through the collection period.
The first morning void should be discarded. Note the time.
The next void should be collected and placed in the container as soon as possible.
The container should be refrigerated or kept on ice throughout the collection period.
All subsequent voids should be added to the container, as they are collected.
The final collection should be the first morning void of the following day (at the end of the 24 hours). Note the time.
The specimen should be mixed well after each addition of urine.
Care should be taken when adding urine to a container that contains an acid preservative. The urine should be collected in another clean container and carefully decanted into the acid container. Urinating directly into the container could result in a splash of acid preservative.
Return the container to the physician/laboratory/patient service center the same day the collection ends. Continue to refrigerate the bottle until you transport it back to the physician/laboratory/patient service center.
