BACKGROUND Potassium-rich diets are inversely associated with blood pressure. Potassium intake before this study had not been objectively measured by using potassium excretion in a population-based sample in the United States. OBJECTIVES The objectives of the analysis were to 1) report mean potassium excretion in a diverse urban population by using 24-h urine collections, 2) corroborate potas...
We studied the rate of urinary excretion of albumin, alpha 1-microglobulin (as an indicator of the renal tubular involvement), sodium, potassium, and creatinine in the basal state (overnight urine collection) and after physical exercise (training session) in 10 professional cyclists, to verify whether protein excretion is increased even in well-trained athletes after physical effort. In additio...
Accurately collected 24-hour urine collections are presumed to be valid for estimating salt intake in individuals. We performed 2 independent ultralong-term salt balance studies lasting 105 (4 men) and 205 (6 men) days in 10 men simulating a flight to Mars. We controlled dietary intake of all constituents for months at salt intakes of 12, 9, and 6 g/d and collected all urine. The subjects' dail...
Ned Tijdschr Klin Chem Labgeneesk 2010, vol. 35, no. 3 Introduction The collection of a urine specimen over a predetermined time interval has the advantage of minimizing the short term biological variation of analytes. It is important that the patient follows close instructions for urine collection to obtain a proper 24-hours urine sample (1). One essential pre-requisite is that the collected u...
During an etiology study of adults hospitalized for pneumonia, in which urine specimens were examined for serotype-specific pneumococcal antigen detection, we observed that some patients received 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine before urine collection. Some urine samples became positive for specific vaccine pneumococcal serotypes shortly after vaccination, suggesting false-positiv...
Current practice with digoxin was assessed in a group of 42 elderly patients by comparing plasma digoxin concentrations attained on previously established maintenance doses with those generated by a computer programme designed to calculate dosage schedules to suit individual patients. Discrepancies between measured and computed plasma levels and between established and computed doses dictated w...
BACKGROUND Given current sodium-reduction strategies, accurate and practical methods to monitor sodium intake in the US population are critical. Although the gold standard for estimating sodium intake is the 24-h urine collection, few studies have used this biomarker to evaluate the accuracy of a dietary instrument. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare self-reported dietary intake of sodium...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of different modes of administration (face-to-face v. telephone), recall days (first v. second), days of the week (weekday v. weekend) and interview days (1 d later v. 2 d later) on bias in protein and K intakes collected with 24 h dietary recalls (24-HDR). DESIGN Two non-consecutive 24-HDR (collected with standardised EPIC-Soft software) were used to estimate...
A procedure for estimating 24 hour urine output in infants using disposable nappies has been validated. In addition, it has been shown experimentally that the urinary concentrations, and hence 24 hour outputs of a range of constituents (sodium, potassium, nitrogen, creatinine, urea, amino acids, and deuterium oxide), may be measured accurately using samples of urine obtained from nappies. It is...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate a novel urine-collection device (UCD) that automatically collects a midstream urine (MSU) sample, and compare contamination rates to those of the conventional MSU sampling method, as the contamination of urine samples for microbiological analysis in women leads to diagnostic ambiguity and unnecessary costs, and may result in part from an incorrect collection procedure. P...
