Test Code LAB123066 Supersaturation Profile, 24 Hour, Urine

Additional Codes

Mayo Test Code: SUP24


Ordering Guidance


 



Necessary Information


1. 24-Hour volume (in milliliters) is required.

2. Patient's height in centimeters and weight in kilograms are required if patient is younger than 18 years.



Specimen Required


Patient Preparation:

X-ray dyes and contrast media will affect uric acid test results.

-If a kidney X-ray with dye or computerized tomography (CT) scan with contrast has been performed, patient should wait a minimum of 1 day before starting collection.

-If a cholangiography (bile duct X-ray) has performed, patient should wait 7 days before starting collection.

-Urine must be collected before tablets have been taken for gallbladder X-ray, otherwise patient should wait 7 days before starting collection.

Supplies: Diazolidinyl Urea (Germall) 5.0 mL (T822)

Collection Container/Tube: 24-hour graduated urine container with no metal cap or glued insert

Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 60-mL urine bottle

Specimen Volume: 35 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Add 5 mL of diazolidinyl urea as preservative at start of collection or refrigerate specimen during and after collection.

2. Collect urine for 24 hours.

3. Specimen pH should be between 4.5 and 8 and will stay in this range if diazolidinyl urea is added at the beginning of the collection or kept refrigerated during the entirety of the collection. Specimens with pH above 8 indicate bacterial contamination, and testing will be canceled. Do not attempt to adjust pH as it will adversely affect results.

4. If not using Germall, the specimen must be kept refrigerated during the entirety of the collection and sent frozen.

Additional Information: See Urine Preservatives-Collection and Transportation for 24-Hour Urine Specimens for multiple collections.


Useful For

Diagnosis and management of patients with renal lithiasis:

-Predicting the likely composition of the stone, in patients who have a radiopaque stone, for whom stone analysis is not available

-May aid in designing a treatment program

 

 

Aiding in identification of specific risk factors for stones using a 24-hour urine collection

 

Monitoring the effectiveness of therapy by confirming that the crystallization potential has indeed decreased

 

Evaluating kidney excretion of acid and urine pH

 

Estimating a patient's protein intake
