The test request form must state date and time collection started, date and time collection finished, and patient's height and weight. The request form should state 24-hour urine volume.
Within 1 day
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
Serum and urine (24-hour)
1 mL serum and 10 mL aliquot of entire urine collection
0.5 mL serum and 0.5 mL urine aliquot
Red-top tube, gel-barrier tube, green-top (heparin) tube, or lavender-top (EDTA) tube and plastic urine container, with or without 6N HCl
Separate serum from cells within 45 minutes of collection. For urine, instruct the patient to void at 8 AM and discard the specimen. Then collect all urine including the final specimen voided at the end of the 24-hour collection period (ie, 8 AM the next morning). Screw the lid on securely. Container must be labeled with patient's full name and date and time for a 24-hour collection. Submit both urine and serum simultaneously. It is preferable to collect the serum at the time the urine collection is completed or when the serum is brought to the draw station. The serum should be collected within 24 hours of the start or finish of the urine collection.
