Dear Mailbase,
How may labs currently ask for 24h urine samples for calcium to be collected in acid?
If you don't ask for collection in acid - do you acidify before analysis? If so, which acid and concentration do you use/to what pH? And how long do you leave the acidified sample before analysis?
What are your procedures for spot urine samples for calcium analysis?
Best wishes,
Nicola
