Avatar m tn 24-hour urine calcium excretion test This test looks at how much calcium is being excreted in the urine. For this test, you collect all your urine over 24 hours in a large container for laboratory analysis to measure the amount of calcium in the total volume of urine. Excessive urinary calcium excretion is a common cause of bone loss and osteoporosis.

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.

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 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. The thing I don't understand is I'm only 15 weeks and I didn't have this test with my first son. Also how can they tell from urine?

Avatar m tn Welcome back to the forum. Reacting first to the title of your question, before reading anything else: No STD can start to cause symptoms in under 24 hours. 2-3 days is the minimum, and for most STDs it's a week or more. Now I have read the rest, and also glanced at your discussions on the STD community forum. Unfortunately, this forum really can't help you at this point.
Avatar f tn t high) the doctor decided to order that I do the 24-hour urine sample to check for pre-clampsia. I am 36 1/2 weeks now. My question is, I am doing this over the weekend and I have a baby shower to go to on Sunday as well as a birthday party on Saturday night so the only time I can really do this is starting tomorrow through Saturday afternoon. BUT, the lab isn't open on Saturdays, so is leaving the urine in my refrigerator ok for 1 1/2 days after completing the sample???
