24-hour urine test

At my appointment this past Thursday my doctor ordered me to do a 24-hour urine test.  No big deal to me really, that I can handle.  She said as long as it was done within in the next two weeks she would be okay with that.  I had originally planned on doing it today however for the last day and a half I have been suffering from a really bad sinus infection and cold.  Anyone know if that could effect my results?  Should I wait until next weekend when I am not sick?

What was the reason your doctor ordered the 24 urine collection?

I have had high blood pressure readings at my doctor appointments occasionally so she wants to do it as an early prognosis if we need to continue monitoring that as my pregnancy progresses.

The ursine test is to measure protein levels and other kidney function tests. Your cold/sinus won't really effect those levels.

It stinks. Be prepared for that.

I had to do that w/ first pregnancy. I ended up having Pree. The test is to measure the amount of protein in your urine. I doubt having a cold would affect that at all. I would just do it. I had no problems collecting my urine at all. Good luck!

You're okay to go ahead and do it today, if you still want to. We run that test on OB patients at the hospital a lot, and never had to delay it due to sinus infections or anything like that. Having a cold won't change whether there's protein in your urine or not, so no worries! Pee away!
