Rubric Error in 24-hour urine protein test Incorrect biomaterial collection The patient was prescribed 24-hour urine collection to determine protein levels, but was not explained how to properly collect the biomaterial. As a result, the patient missed the first urine portion and then submitted an incomplete 24-hour volume. The laboratory received underestimated data, and the doctor concluded that kidney function was normal. In reality, the patient’s nephropathy was progressing and was not diagnosed in time. ❓ What instructions does the laboratory usually provide to patients for correct 24-hour urine collection?
