old man Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Advised more urine tests advised, the latest kit is not just a sample pot but a large pot, leaflet, syringe and separate nozzle. Is this needed as the cost must be 20 times the old pot? A need or profit scam? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houseplant Posted August 17 Report Share Posted August 17 It does sound like a 24 hour sample as johnphilip said. A bit old school, but still valid. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests-and-therapies/24hour-urine-collection#:~:text=The test is used to,such as sodium and potassium.

Nope, just a one off job? The old pot would be fine. This kit seems really overkill? Wondering the cost to the NHS is all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that performance a couple of weeks ago with the syringe, I asked the nurse and she said it all gets shipped off the hospital for testing and they don't want to be lumbered with gallons of pee. Whether that's true or not I don't know 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
