Before doing a 24-hour urine collection for kidney stone prevention, there are three important things to know. First, you should eat like you did when you were forming kidney stones to see how those foods affected your urine chemistry. Second, stop taking vitamins that have not been prescribed by a doctor three to five days before the collection, as some vitamins can interfere with the test. Third, make sure to follow the instructions for the urine collection and submit it on time. It is also important to do follow-up tests and address any high urine calcium levels to prevent osteoporosis.
