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