Effectiveness of currently used urinary preservatives in preserving high demand biochemical analytes. A study in the context of Sri Lankan laboratory setting
Abstract:Analysis of 24-hour urine composition is widely used in diagnosis of acute and
chronic kidney diseases. In Sri Lanka, no guidelines are available on
preservation of urine. This study aimed to identify an effective preservation
technique/s among currently practiced techniques in laboratories to maintain
