Test ID HIPA Hippuric Acid, Urine
Method Name
Colorimetry (C)
High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
Reporting Name
Hippuric Acid, USpecimen Type
UrineSpecimen Required
***Must submit one specimen per order. Specimens cannot be shared between multiple orders.***
Specimen Type: Urine
Container/Tube: Plastic preservative-free urine container
Specimen Volume: 2 mL
Collection Instructions:
1. Collect 2 mL random urine specimen in a plastic preservative-free urine container at end of shift.
2. Send refrigerate.
NOTE: The acidification of the urine with 1.0 mL acetic acid per 100 mL urine will prolong the stability of the analyte.
Specimen Minimum Volume
1.1 mL

Reference Values
Reporting limit determined each analysis
Creatinine:
U.S. Population (10th-90th percentiles, median)
All participants: 335-2370 mg/L, median: 1180 (n=22,245)
Males: 495-2540 mg/L, median: 1370 (n=10,610)
Females: 273-2170 mg/L, median 994 (n=11,635)
Hippuric Acid:
Normal for unexposed populations is generally less than 1.6 g/L.
Hippuric Acid (Creatinine corrected):
Normal for unexposed populations is generally less than 1.5 g/g creatinine.
