(UA) The steps tо а 24 hоur urine аre given belоw. Is there аnything wrong with this process? A doctor orders testing requiring a 24 hour urine collection. The patient is registered and the orders are generated in the LIS (Laboratory Information System) if not already. The patient is informed that they must collect for 24 hours exactly, and that the jug must be kept in the fridge for the duration of collection. The patient is informed that they can urinate into a clean, dry container, and transfer the urine to the jug. Instructions on starting the 24 hour collection says that the patient will time from the time they wake up on collection day, starting with their first void. After 24 hours, the last collection will be the patient's first void on the following day. The stop time should be noted, and the container should be brought to the lab ASAP (on the same day as the end time) The assistant will check the patient's identity with the specimen, and sign for collection at the time of receipt. They thank the patient and send them home. They will note the total volume on the requisition or in the LIS before taking a sample into a sterile cup or tube with a clean pipette. All aliquots are labeled with their appropriate label and sent to chemistry or other departments.
