Published: Updated:

IntroLab, a leading laboratory in Vračar, performs the glucose test in 24-hour urine samples. This urine test provides important information about the glucose levels in your body and can be very helpful in diagnosing certain health conditions.

Who Conducts the 24-Hour Urine Glucose Test?

The measurement of glucose in a 24-hour urine sample is carried out by our expert team of medical and laboratory technicians. They have extensive experience in analytical and diagnostic practice. In our laboratory, we employ the most advanced methods and use the latest equipment. The combination of top-notch staff and equipment allows us to provide you with the most accurate results of biochemical urine tests.

When is Measuring the Sugar Level in Urine Indicated?

This test is usually conducted when there is a suspicion of metabolic disorders, diabetes, or when it is necessary to monitor the effectiveness of therapy in patients with diabetes. Your doctor will recommend this test and determine the appropriate time for its implementation.

Why Choose This Test?

This test provides important information about the glucose levels in your body throughout the entire day, making it a better choice than measuring its level in the first morning urine sample. Elevated levels of glucose in the urine can indicate the presence of diabetes or other metabolic disorders. This test is also useful for monitoring blood sugar control in patients with diabetes and assessing the effectiveness of therapy.

How Long Does It Take to Perform the Glucose Test in 24-Hour Urine?

The glucose test in 24-hour urine requires collecting urine over a 24-hour period. After you collect the total amount of urine during that period, you deliver the sample to our laboratory. The time needed to complete the analysis varies depending on the sample processing speed, but results are usually available within 4 hours.

Preparation
Prepare a container for collecting 24-hour urine (estimate whether one or more 2-liter bottles are needed). Discard the first morning urine sample (do not pour it into the bottle). Collect all other urine samples throughout the day and night into the bottle. Add the first morning urine sample of the following day to the bottle and deliver the entire quantity of urine to the laboratory for analysis. For certain tests, it is necessary to add a preservative to the bottle first – ask the laboratory for instructions on this procedure.

Frequently asked questions

What does glucose in urine mean?

Glucose in urine means that sugar is being excreted in the urine, and elevated levels may point to diabetes or other metabolic disorders. Measuring glucose in 24-hour urine is also used to monitor blood sugar control in people with diabetes and to assess how well treatment is working. The Glucose in 24-Hour Urine test at IntroLab laboratory costs 150 RSD, and results are ready in 4 hours. A positive result is always interpreted by a doctor.

Why is glucose measured in 24-hour urine rather than a morning sample?

A 24-hour urine sample shows how much glucose is excreted over the whole day, so it is a better indicator than a single morning sample, especially in people with diabetes. Urine is collected in a 2-liter bottle: the first morning urine is discarded, all other urine during the day and night is collected, and the first morning urine of the next day is added. The entire amount should be brought to IntroLab laboratory.
