Patient Preparation:
1. High concentrations of gadolinium and iodine are known to interfere with most metal tests. If gadolinium- or iodine-containing contrast media has been administered, wait a minimum of 96 hours before starting collection.
2. If this test is used in conjunction with the (131)I uptake test, then specimen collection should begin immediately after the dose of (131)I is given (ie, the patient should void and discard urine just prior to the (131)I dose, and all subsequent urine should be collected for the next 24 hours). The last void should be included in the collection.
