• Report the hormone determination in milligrams per deciliter in case the specimen was incomplete

• Check the creatinine level; if it is greater than 1g do the procedure

Urine samples should be examined with 1 hour of voiding because:

• Ketones will increase due to bacterial and cellular metabolism
