- Creatinine — A substance used to adjust for how dilute your urine is.
- Collection volume — The amount of urine collected, which helps with calculations.
- Collection time — When the sample was collected, which helps interpret the result.
Preparation
Usually no fasting is needed. Your clinician may ask you to avoid certain foods, supplements, or work exposure for a period before the sample, and may request a timed or 24-hour urine collection.
