    Method
    Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS)
    Preparation
    It is preferable for the patient to be off medications for three days prior to collection. However, common antihypertensives (diuretics, ACE Inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, alpha and beta blockers) cause minimal or no interference. Patient should avoid alcohol, coffee, tea, tobacco and strenuous exercise prior to collection.
    Collection
    Collect 24-hour urine with 25 mL of 6N HCl to maintain a pH ≤3. If no preservative is used, specimen must be stored refrigerated during collection but shipped frozen and pH must be ≤6. Record 24-hour urine volume and patient's age on test request form and urine container.

    Preparation
    Avoid cephalosporins. Have patient drink water before the clearance is begun, and continue good hydration throughout the clearance. If possible, drugs should be stopped beforehand.
    Collection
    Separate serum or plasma from cells within 45 minutes of collection. For urine, instruct the patient to void at 8 AM and discard the specimen. Then collect all urine including the final specimen voided at the end of the 24-hour collection period (ie, 8 AM the next morning). Screw the lid on securely. Tube must be labeled with patient's full name and date and time for a 24-hour collection. Submit both urine and serum simultaneously. It is preferable to collect the serum at the time the urine collection is completed or when the serum is brought to the draw station. The serum should be collected within 24 hours of the start or finish of the urine collection.
    Reference notes
    • Male: younger than 12 years: 50−90 mL/minute, 12 years and older: 97−137 mL/minute • Female: younger than 12 years: 50−90 mL/minute, 12 years and older: 88−128 mL/minute Note: Creatinine clearance reference intervals are based on a body surface area of 1.73 m2.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
