Thanks everyone for replies .
I will ring tomorrow.. I suppose what I really wanted to know was whether the 12 hours would be enough for a bit of the protein to show up…
I sort of thought 24 hours would be to work out a percentage of bence jones you have.. Sort of amount. But that maybe 12 hours be enough to show whether its there or not.
I did say to nurse when she told me it was 2 litre bottle that I would prob need more and her reply was just do what you can, so when I saw gastroenterologist I didn't really bother much about it just accepted what he said.. It was only really after that I started to worry over it especially now when pains in back getting worse.
I saw him in October.
Does anybody know if the some proteins might show in 12 hours??? Surely if they are in urine they would??? Or is the test designed so that it has to be 24 hours for any proteins to be relevant????
Thanks everyone.
Are the helpline medically trained??
All best,
