    Hi. Ive never done urine test but I'm on a forum where lots of ppl have. They normally collect for 24 hrs but not their first urine of the day. Id question this testing.

    The 24 hour urine is normally all urine. Or voids over the 24 hours , need to discuss this with your specialist if not sure as these tests used for lots of illnesses  and all specialists do for different reasons , so all of us on site will have had different things done for different reasons and we are not experts , talk to specialists for all explanations ,
