Annual type 2 check up

Have they asked for one?
I took one along last time to be told that the urine test wasn't requested and she threw it in the bin!
And after all that careful aiming..
I doubt much will change though..

 

It's always recommend to take the urine sample in the morning before breakfast. What happens to it after is their problem not yours, no way would it be going into my fridge
I would think that blood test results are more informative, the urine sample is just to see if you are peeing out sugar lumps.

 

Unless they tell you otherwise, any time of the day will do. Keep the sample in the fridge if it is going to be more than an hour to the test. Urine samples are used for the kidney related tests. Everything you need to know is probably here....

I am always told it must be the first "flow" in the morning, and do my best to make sure it is. This is the only occasion I wish I were a man! Mine is tested first by the nurse with a dip stick, then whizzed off to the lab for proper analysis. Our surgery has 2 types of bottle for urine samples. One for sending to the lab with a white top, the other just for the nurse to check. I am always told to obtain one with a white top, which we can pick up at reception.

 

I never take one to my reviews, the nurse usually asks for one so I pick up a pot on the way out, do the necessary ‘first flow’ at some point over the next week or so, and drop it back. It’s hardly an urgent test, but my surgery also use it for more detailed kidney function testing.

 

Mine was done by post this year. Loved it. All done with results immediately. No more peeing in a pot.

 

How did that work? Waterproof envelope?

 

I had my annual check up last month. I was asked to produce an early morning urine sample to take with me. My appointment wasnt until 2.30 so I put my sample bottle in a plastic sealed bag and popped it in the fridge until an hour before I went. Your delay will be fine. They send mine off to the lab, so it has all that transit time anyway. They do kidney function tests with it.
