Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Dede, The Aldosterone and Renin Test Oh Dede my son is funny about this even though I am totally set up for my urine to be refridgerated I already made sure of keeping it well covered I took care of these details at the lab **************** 24 hr urine test 1. My first morning urine goes into the toilet 2. I have to keep record of each time I urinate 3. From than on my urine is collected in a container 4. Keep refriderated and take to lab next morning Than I have to take it to the lab the next morning At least this is how I understood it **************** Is this correct I do not not want to mess this up Much Appreciated, Sandy~ Sandy ~ Tell your son that urine is steril unless you have an infection. Not to worry about contamination. You can also keep the jug in a plastic bag. The Aldosterone and Renin tests show if your body is regulating your salt and water functions. Nothing else. But I think this is an important test for you to have. Be sure and read all the paper work that comes with it. You are suposed to be off of betablockers for a few days or so before the test so if you are taking your BP meds, ask the lab if you need to stop it for a bit first. I am glad you are having the test. Love Dede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
