Answer to Question 2

A, B
Some tests of renal function and urine composition require urine to be collected over 2 to 72 hours. The 24-hour timed collection is most common. These tests measure for elements such as amino acids, creatinine, hormones, glucose, and adrenocorticosteroi ds, whose levels fluctuate throughout the day. A timed urine collection also can serve as a means to measure the concentration or dilution of urine. Bacteria count and color can be determined through a routine urinalysis.
