24-hour urine collection

A 24-hour urine collection is a test that measures everything your body excretes in urine over a full day. To perform this test, you will collect all your urine in a special container for 24 hours, starting from the first urination in the morning. This helps doctors analyze various substances in your urine, providing insight into kidney function, fluid balance, and the presence of specific conditions. It's important to follow the instructions accurately to ensure reliable results, as this test can help diagnose issues related to the kidneys, hormones, and metabolism.
