Will it be valid?
I am 34 weeks pregnant and I had my OGTT 75 gm glucose test and at the same time my urine sample was collected and I don't know why the specimen collector told me to uncapped the urine sample and keep it on the table. And I wasn't aware so I kept it uncapped as he said. So if he kept that sample opened for a while or more will my urine test report will be valid? Or if it was my mistake due to miscommunication...isn't it's the specimen collector's responsibility to call me and tell me or scold me that the urine sample will not be valid and so I have to re do it?? Or should he do the urine test carelessly?
Please help

An uncapped urine sample kept at room temperature can get contaminated and may not give a reliable report, especially after a delay. Please call the laboratory and tell them how long it remained open; they may advise repeating a fresh clean-catch sample. Do not worry about the OGTT resultâits validity is separate from the urine sample. You may consult me on Practo or visit me at Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Your urine sample being left uncapped for a while could change the results, so it may not be fully reliable.
Next Steps
Please call your clinic and ask whether the sample needs to be recollected before you rely on this report.

Your urine sample kept open has a high chances of contamination. So it will be better to call the lab and ask them if you need to repeat the test or not and how long was it kept open.
