Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hi , My Neph just always tells me to keep it in the fridge so I double bag it and put it in the garage fridge. I would not want to put it in the kitchen fridge with all the food though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I'm not sure how long it's o.k. to leave it but couldn't you just set your alarm and start tomorrow morning? Set it for around the time you expect to leave for the lab on Monday, get up Sunday am and start the test at the time you expect to need to leave on Monday (you can always head back to bed after you pee), then you will complete the test just before you head out Monday morning. It's what I do when I need to do my 24hr collections. Just a thought....unless there is a reason you can't do the collection on Sunday. Amy 24 hr urine > Hey, guys, quick question.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 That's what I usually do, my husband was encouraging me to start tonight so it wouldn't be a nuisance while I have to go out and do home visits tomorrow. I told him I'd have to find out if it would alter the results of the test. I also told him it probably wouldn't make a difference or inconvenience me any less, because the visits are scheduled for the early am and then around 4 p.m. and it would still fallwithin the 24 hrs even if I started right now. I think I'll just do it as I originally planned.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 Unless I happened to have a day off or something, I always timed my 24 hour urine collections to be done on Sunday, to be brought in on Monday morning. For one thing, I'm pretty sure they need to draw blood in relation to it when you bring it in, plus, I'm not exactly sure what it was for, but I always had to also give a spot urine sample at the lab when I brought the collection in. It's been almost 2 years since I last had to do one of those, so I don't remember for sure. Once you're on dialysis, you don't do urine collections. Even without that, leaving it an extra day might let bacteria grow and contaminate the collection somehow. I remember one time when my collection did get contaminated with bacteria for some unknown reason, and I had to redo it.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2004 Report Share Posted April 25, 2004 Thanks, Pierre. No way would I want to have to start all over again. It's a pain in the you -know -where already. Surprisingly enough, I sure do have to go to the bathroom a lot for someone with (or even without) kidney disease. When I'm doing my 24 hr urine, I don't like to be away from the house any more than 2 hrs at a time. It's a sure bet I'll have to go, if I get stuck out and about somewhere-'s law. _____ From: Pierre L (groups) Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2004 10:07 PM To: iga-nephropathy Subject: Re: 24 hr urine Unless I happened to have a day off or something, I always timed my 24 hour urine collections to be done on Sunday, to be brought in on Monday morning.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 I've posted this in the past a few times, but, if the rest of the family really objects to having a jug of urine in the fridge, along with the apple juice and the milk, one thing you can do is to just keep it in the bathroom, on a bed of ice (like in a little wide plastic tub). That's what they the few times I was hospitalised and had to do a 24hr urine collection. Once, I just left it in the bathroom, on the cool tile floor, and it was fine. One advantage is that, since you see it there when you go to the bathroom, you're less likely to forget part of the collection Pierre Re: 24 hr urine I have to laugh about that too.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2004 Report Share Posted April 26, 2004 This discussion reminds me of a funny event from 10 years ago or so. My son had been recently diagnosed with IgAN and was having to do 24 hr. urine collections periodically. We have an old refrigerator in the basement, and I suggested he keep the " big brown jug " down there. Later his younger brother came running up the stairs to announce with horror that was peeing in the refrigerator. Turned out instead of taking the jug to the downstairs bathroom, figured no one was going to see him and was just opening the door each time he needed to go and peeing directly into the jug in the refrigerator.
