It is necessary to collect the average portion of the morning (immediately after sleep) urine in a special sterile container for analysis with a plastic lid.
On the eve of sampling, exclude the use of medications (vitamins, diuretics, hormones, antibiotics and other medicines) and coloring foods (carrots, beets, asparagus, cranberries, blueberries, etc.).
The last sexual intercourse should be at least 12 hours before the collection of the urine sample.
First of all, before collecting urine, it is necessary to carefully hygiene the external genital organs. To prevent the vaginal environment from entering the urine sample, it is necessary to cover the entrance to the vagina with a piece of cotton wool or insert a swab. Avoid touching the urine collection container with your body.
When urinating, flush the first portion of urine (1-2 seconds) into the toilet, and then, without interrupting urination, collect the second part of the urine, interrupting at the end of the process and finishing urinating into the toilet. For analysis, you need about 50 ml of biomaterial.
The collected urine must be delivered to the laboratory within 1-1.5 hours. On the jar with the analysis, clearly indicate your last name, initials, date of collection of the analysis and time.
