Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / October 200524 hr urine test
Has anyone had this test ? If so, can they tell me about it ? Thanks Howie "Howard and Hope" asked > Has anyone had this test ? If so, can they tell me about it ? Several times. You save all your pee for 24.0 hours in a couple of jugs. The real question is . . . what type of 24-hour test? Mine were 5-HIAA tests looking for carcinoid tumors. This particular test requires special dietary restrictions for four days, and the labs and doctors who have given it to me don't even know about the restrictions. But there are several types of 24-hr tests. I.P. If I can read the Dr's henscratch..something about..Serum Protein...electrolyte? 24 hr urine for..album????something..? and Comp. Metobolic Panel..also CBC. Dr concerned with last labs...GLOB 4.5 (H) and ALB 2.4 (L) said I may be peeing out protein ??? something about Liver and Kdneys??? Howie Howie: From what you wrote...your test is probably for microalbumen. A more sensitive look for protein. Ron B. Chicago I had one too. Saved 24 hours worth of urine in jugs. This was before the PCa. It was looking for protein in the urine. Ron B. Chicago Howie...Like IP said, which 24 hr. urine test? I had the pyrilinks-D. I pissed into just one jug, that had some chemicals already in it, for 24 hours. You also keep the jug refrigerated (keep it separate from your juice bottle :) ). It seems that Sunday is a good time to start the test (at least for working folks), and then on Monday return the collection bottle to the doc...Best wishes and good health...Ron "ron" <wrote ... > I pissed into just one jug, that had some chemicals already in it, for > 24 hours. I had to argue with them to get two jugs. Convinced 'em by saying I'd bring in a milk jug WITH their jug if they didn't. I fill two of their brown jugs; with one I'd have had to extend the 5-HIAA test dietary restrictions and start the test again. Safe, sorry, and all that. I.P. I filled the one jug up to the very very top. I.P. wrote: "I had to argue with them to get two jugs. Convinced 'em by saying I'd bring in a milk jug WITH their jug if they didn't.

Which is WHY you are "I.P Freely." :-) Ron B. Chicago > Has anyone had this test ? If so, can they tell me about it ? Thanks > Howie Sounds like they're looking for protein spilage? My wife has a rare kidney disease that pops up very infrequently, but that's the indicator for it. Luckily to responds to steroid treatment.
