Urine Collection And Transport
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
The most common urine specimen received is the per-urethral voided urine. The healthy urethra is unsterile and it is extremely critical that urine specimens be collected carefully to minimize urethral contamination. There are several types of urine specimens and the results of each type are determined by different guidelines. Therefore, it is essential that each urine specimen received by the laboratory is clearly labeled as to the type of collection of a urine specimen.
