Urine Test

[fruitsalad]

Mr fruit has to take another urine sample to the docs but has been told not to eat meat 12 hours before what is the reason for that does anyone know

[LazyGun]

Specifically meat, fruit, or anything at all?

Doh - I phrased that last response badly.

@fruitsalad ; Was he told specifically meat but that he could eat anything else in the preceding 12 hours, or was he advised to fast for 12 hours, avoiding all food etc?

[fruitsalad]

No he can have anything else just not meat

[murraymints]

In case of any steroid content ??

Is it a Creatinine Clearance test?

GOI yes just found out its to do with his kidneys so could well be thanks guys

Never thought of CCT, because that us usually a 24 hour urine collection test and requires a blood test as well

Only other thing I can think of if it is only a urine test is as a means of measuring hydroxyprolene levels, but that is a bit obscure...

Could be an albumin/creatinine ratio test, you can't eat meat 12 hours before and it has to be an early morning sample.

@fabsec - Do you have a reference for that? First i have heard of that requirement when performing an ACR test.....
