517981 tn?1216782018 Well my blood work came back negetive for uric acid and also lyme, so now I have to do a 24 hour urine test, my family loves the thought of a bottle of urine in the fridge, lol. I am still very confused on how this happened. The last 6 months have sucked. I had pancreatitis in oct and had my gall bladder removed then, now they are looking into whether that was related to the gout/uric acid. Any input?
Avatar m tn The urine, no. Blood test is for PT-PTT, your ability to clot. If you are way,way slow on clotting they will choose a method besides needle biopsy or delay it.

Avatar f tn I am 37/4 and I am doing the 24 hour urine test because I had protein in my urine. I was wondering how does this all work, will I be induced if they find it again?
Avatar n tn Hi there. The 24 hour analysis would often be ccarried out because of some abnormal Blood test result or in a case of a spike in BP? Did you have any other tests prior to the 24 hour collection? As Rumpled says, there could be a number of reasons for an abnormal high hormone test result. One reason is Aldosterone. This is released by the Adrenal gland into the blood. (Metanephrines) Too much can cause huge BP spikes.

Avatar f tn m a big girl, wanting natural delivery, and my blood pressure only spikes when I see them, they want a 24 hour urine screen. They test your urine every visit at my midwife and I have always been negative. Should I be nervous or concerned?
304970 tn?1331425994 Well, I am home for the day "peeing in a bucket for 24 hours." My urine has come back 3 weeks in a row w/ protein. My Dr. is worried about preeclampsia. I am a nervous wreck. I had placenta previa w/ bleeding (now corrected itself) Been in the hospital for a 3 day stay b/c I was having contactions and they had me on meds 3 days to stop them. I have been dehydrated, the first 15 weeks I was throwing up every day.. I am feeling like this pegnancy has been sooo problematic.
Avatar n tn This will be used along with a 24 hour urine chemical analysis test to establish preventative options. Depending on the type of stone, diet modification and medical treatment are started as preventive options. I would recommend that you inform your doctor of the symptoms you are experiencing right now and further testing may need to be done. Over-the-counter pain medications may also help. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Yes like they said screw criteria. I was just diagnosed with gout in my knee after is swelled up and they drained it. I had MRSA at the time so they checked the fluid for infection, it was clear of infection but contained a high amount of Uric acid. Which surprised my drs because its more of a male disorder and in women in normal occurs in post menapausal women. I am 44 and pre menapausal. From what I understand its your bodies inability to process proteins properly.

Avatar n tn on Zyloric, my experience has not been good, i was given a 23 days zyloric course and my uric acid resurfaced when my course got over, like keyzersoce says the best way to go for is to go natural,,, you cd try zyloric and see, who knows it might work, also get a 24 hour urine test done
5143317 tn?1383747820 But, I think that it takes more than one test to get a diagnosis-----this may be why your doc wants to do the 24 hour urine test, also.

Avatar f tn Hello I am in the middle of an acute gout attack for the last 36 hours. I have taken 3 500microgram Colchicine tablets 14 hours ago (2 to start then 1 an hour later) but have not seen any relief at all yet, in fact it feels worse. Should I take more colchicine or ibuprofen? I'm not taking any other medication or supplements but have had some apple cider vinegar drinks to see if it would help.
Avatar f tn Have any of you had to do a 24 hour urine collection test to check for high blood pressure ? My ob wants the test to make sure I don't end up.with pre eclampsia.
