How the sample is gathered for testing?

Wash the hands thoroughly and collect the pee in the clean container and seal it. A sample of urine was randomly collected to determine the amount of fat in the urine.

How to derive from the experimental outcome?

After adding a few drops of 5% of acetic acid to 1ml of chylous of urine, urine was centrifuged for 3 minutes at 3000 rpm. If it clears, it indicates phosphate, which can be confirmed by examining the deposit under microscope.
