Dear all

Would anyone mind sharing with us their ISO-proof method of measuring 24h urine volumes?

 

Is it good enough to weigh the collection and subtract the weight of an identical (empty) container? Or do we have to pre-weigh each container and write the weight on the bottle before giving them out?

 

Any other advice would also be much appreciated e.g. how “good” your scales have to be etc.

 

Many thanks

Catrin
