A member asked:
Will drinking water prior to a urine test reduce the detectable amount of protein and blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: Drinking large amounts of water prior to a urine test can dilute some ingredients. However the specific gravity of the sample will also shift indicating a recent high ingestion of water or other fluids
