Urine collection - infants urine-culture-catheterized-specimen
Definition
Urine collection is a method of getting a urine sample from an infant for testing purposes. It can be performed at home.
Why the Urine collection - infants is Performed
The test is performed to get a urine specimen from an infant.
How the Urine collection - infants is Performed
Thoroughly wash the area around the urethra. If your health care provider gave you cleansing wipes, use these to clean the infant. Clean from the front to the back on a female infant, and from the tip of the penis down on a male infant.
Open a urine collection bag (a plastic bag with an adhesive paper on one end), and place it on the infant. For males, place the entire penis in the bag and attach the adhesive to the skin. For females, place the bag over the labia.
Put a diaper securely over the bag. Check your baby often and remove the bag after the infant has urinated into it. For active infants, this procedure may take a couple of attempts -- lively infants can displace the bag.
In children under age 3, the discovery of a urinary tract infection is very important, as it may indicate anatomical problems. In these cases, a catheterized urine sample is better because it is more accurate.
Drain the urine into a container to take it back to the health care provider.
How to Prepare for the Urine collection - infants
There is no preparation for the test. If you collect the urine at home, you might need a couple of extra collection bags.
How the Urine collection - infants Will Feel
There is no discomfort.
Risks
There aren't really any risks. Rarely, the infant might get a mild skin rash from the adhesive on the collection bag. Bag urine specimens aren't best for urine cultures because they can become contaminated.
Considerations
Try to return the specimen to the health care provider as soon as possible.
Normal Results
Normal values depend on what tests will be performed on the urine after it is collected.
