A member asked:
I went for a urinalysis but i drank a lot and my urine was almost clear colored. will the test be accurate as to bacteria in urine? or too diluted?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inaccurate: Too dilute urine may not provide accurate results and not just for bacteria. A usual specimen for urine analysis is the first voided sample in the morning. Talk to your doctor about repeating the test.
