WITH spot-test albumin/creatinine ratios being so accurate, I rarely order a 24-hour urine collection nowadays. However, it can be a messy affair. Dr Kwai Lee of Berwick, Victoria, suggests using two halves of a soft drink bottle. The bottom half collects the urine, then the top half funnels it into the container. And drinking the soft drink before it all starts probably helps boost the overall collected volume!
