What 24 hour urine test?

They do these for a number of reasons such as testosterone or cortisol. Last year, I did the 24 hour free testosterone test and was given a big red plastic gas canister. Any time I had to take a leak, I took lugged it to the restroom and filled it up. After the 24 hours were finished, I dropped it off at the lab. It takes a few days for results to come in.

ahh, okay. I take testosterone among other things and theyve never had me do one of those before. 

I take other medication which helps to stimulate production of testosterone. The VA normally just does blood work to get the levels. However, I had this done by a non-VA doc who wanted to get an overall picture. She said the testosterone levels are higher in the morning and wane throughout the day. I guess this gives an accurate assessment of testosterone per volume that covers the 24 hour period.
