Collection Processing Instructions

Patient Preparation:  Patient should avoid ingestion of vitamin C prior to collection.

Collect:  24-hour urine. Refrigerate during collection.

Thoroughly mix entire collection (24-hour) in one container. Do not exceed 4 mL in Tubes.

Preserved: Transfer 4 mL (1.5 mL minimum) aliquot to an ARUP Transport Tube with Sulfamic Acid.  Mix well. Freeze immediately.

Unpreserved: Transport a 4 mL  (1.5 mL minimum) unadjusted aliquot of urine to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. Freeze immediately.

Record total volume and collection time interval on transport tube and test request form.

CRITICAL FROZEN:  Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) quickly degrades to oxalate in non-acidified urine. Patients should discontinue use of vitamin C supplements at least 48 hours prior to the start of urine collection and abstain until collection is complete.

Preservation with Sulfamic Acid before transporting is highly recommended.
