Description

A 24-hour urine test for selenium measures the amount of the mineral excreted by your body over a full day to assess nutritional status or identify imbalances. To prepare, follow your doctor's specific instructions, which may include avoiding certain foods, supplements, and medications, and collecting all urine in a provided container for 24 hours, starting by voiding the first-morning sample. The test can help detect selenium deficiency (e.g., fatigue, hair loss) or toxicity (e.g., nail changes, nerve damage). What the test is for Assessing nutritional status: It helps determine if your body has a selenium deficiency or too much selenium. Monitoring therapy: It can be used to monitor individuals on selenium replacement therapy or those on long-term total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Diagnosing imbalance: It may be advised when a patient shows symptoms of a selenium imbalance, such as fatigue, muscle weakness, or hair loss. How to prepare Consult your doctor: Always follow your physician's specific instructions, as preparation can vary based on your health and medications. Discontinue supplements: Your doctor will likely advise you to stop taking selenium or other nutritional supplements, vitamins, and some over-the-counter medications before the test. Avoid certain substances: You may need to avoid certain foods and medications, especially those containing iodine or paracetamol, for a specific period before the test. Use a specific container: Collect the urine in the plastic container provided by the lab. Do not use your own containers. How to collect the sample Start at a specific time: When you wake up, empty your bladder into the toilet. Record this date and time as the official start of your collection period. Collect all urine for 24 hours: Collect every drop of urine from that point forward for the next 24 hours. Include overnight samples: Make sure to include any urine you pass during the night. End the collection: Exactly 24 hours after you started, empty your bladder one last time and add it to the collection container. Label correctly: Write the full date and time the collection ended on the container label, along with your full name and date of birth. After collection Refrigerate the sample: Keep the collection container refrigerated during the entire 24-hour period. Return promptly: Return the sample to the lab as soon as possible, ideally on the same day you finished the collection.
