Collection Instructions
| Specimen: | Timed collection (24 hours), or random |
| Optimal Volume: | Submit entire collection; analysis requires 1 mL |
| Container: | 3 L plastic jug Alternate Containers: Plastic leakproof container, sterile |
| Collection Instructions: | Specimen should be refrigerated during collection. ARUP studies indicate that refrigeration of urine alone, during and after collection preserves specimens adequately if testing within 14 days of collection. |
| Patient Preparation: | Diet, medication and nutritional supplements may introduce interfering substances. Patients should be encouraged to discontinue nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals and non-essential over-the-counter medications (upon the advice of their physician). High concentrations of iodine may interfere with elemental testing. Abstinence from iodine-containing medications or contrast agents for at least 1 month prior to collecting specimens for elemental testing is recommended. |
| Causes for Rejection: | Urine collected within 48 hours after administration of a gadolinium (Gd) containing contrast media (may occur with MRI studies), acid preserved urine, samples not aliquoted into ARUP metal-free plastic vials, specimens contaminated with blood or fecal material. |
