Sometimes diabetic patients need to collect urine samples for 24 hours. Before collecting urine, a large clean container with a lid must be prepared.
You urinate once at a certain time after getting up in the morning, such as at six o'clock in the morning, but this time the urine must be thrown away, that is to say, it must not flow into the container. From this moment on, all urine passed out should remain in the container for 24 hours. Until the same time the next day, that is, at 6 o'clock the next morning, you urinate for the last time, but it must flow into the container.
Then mix the urine in the container, use a urine cup to measure the total amount of urine, and record it. Then take a small part of the urine sample and put it into a clean and dry vial for inspection. Please be reminded. The most important thing is to decide whether to put preservatives in accordance with the hospital's requirements.
In addition, female patients are best not to retain urine for 24 hours during menstruation or when they have excessive leucorrhea. To avoid causing errors. In addition or when taking it again, you must pay attention to the cleanliness of the perineum to avoid contamination.
