How to Prepare for the Test?
Eat a normal, balanced diet for several days before the test. Submit a urine sample to the laboratory. If the contamination of the specimen (by vaginal discharge or bleeding) is likely, then collect a clean-catch sample.
Instructions will be given for water loading or water deprivation. The health care provider may advise you to withhold drugs that can affect the test.
If the collection is being taken from an infant, a couple of extra collection bags may be necessary.
