Hi all,

Apologies for the urgency with this one.

This is from a key to some lab results:

Sg-Sangue intero
S-Siero

U-Urina racc. estemporanea
dU-Urina racc. oraria
F-Feci
LCR-Liquor

Can anyone shed any light?!

Thanks!

random urine sample vs. 24-hour urine sample

Hello,

As a medical doctor I can say that urine sampling is done by either obtaining a random specimen or by a 24-hour urine collection. Timed specimens might be used in spesific situations as well but an hourly sampling doesn't make sense.


I think dU stands for Diurnal Urine, which is a 24-hour urine collection.

Another option might be "hourly urine output" and it is calculated by dividing the daily output into 24.

Dear Liz, I know what "oraria" means and I don't need this explanation. I interpreted it based on my medical knowledge. I think also the asker knows enough Italian to translate it without asking opinion, but obviously she had a doubt on it.
neutral Mihaela Petrican : medically speaking, it was my thought too, but since the source text is different, at maximum I would only include a comment for the client. There are situation when hourly sampling is required, please see http://press.endocrine.org/doi/abs/10.1210/jc.200
