HelpTest ID SSH24 Supersaturation Profile, Self-Collect, 24 Hour, Urine
Ordering Guidance
Necessary Information
1. 24-Hour volume in milliliters is required.
2. Patient's height in centimeters and weight in kilograms are required if patient is younger than 18 years.
3. Patient's street address, city, state, ZIP (postal) code, country, and home phone are required (post-office [PO] boxes are not acceptable delivery locations)
Specimen Required
Patient Preparation:
X-ray dyes and contrast media will affect uric acid test results.
-If a kidney X-ray with dye or computerized tomography (CT) scan with contrast has been performed, the patient should wait at least 24 hours before starting collection.
-If a cholangiography (bile duct X-ray) has been performed, the patient should wait 7 days before starting collection.
-If patient has taken tablets for a gallbladder X-ray, the patient should wait 7 days before starting collection.
Supplies: SSH24 Home Collection Kit (T921)
Collection Container/Tube: 24-hour graduated urine container with no metal cap or glued insert
Submission Container/Tube: Plastic, 60-mL urine bottle
Specimen Volume: 35 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Order test each time the patient is to collect a 24-hour urine specimen at home and mail the specimen directly to Mayo Clinic Laboratories.
2. Order should be placed a minimum of 3 days prior to desired date of collection.
3. Enter patient's address information for each order created, including street address (post office [PO] boxes are not acceptable delivery locations), city, state abbreviation, zip code, country, and home phone number.
4. For each order, the SSH24 Home Collection kit will be mailed directly to the patient for self-collection (delivery to a PO box will not occur). This kit contains instructions for how to properly collect and transport the specimen after collection.
Useful For
Diagnosis and management of patients with renal lithiasis:
-Predicting the likely composition of the stone, in patients who have a radiopaque stone, for whom stone analysis is not available
-May aid in designing a treatment program
Aiding in identification of specific risk factors for stones using a 24-hour urine collection
Monitoring the effectiveness of therapy by confirming that the crystallization potential has indeed decreased
Evaluating kidney excretion of acid and urine pH
Estimating a patient's protein intake
