Background : The urine chemistry examination consists of blood tests, bilirubin, urobilinogen, ketone, protein, nitrite, glucose, pH, specific gravity, leukocyte esterase, and ascorbic acid. Glucose tests in urine aim to detect the presence of Glucose in the urine. In the field there are still frequent delays in urine examination. According to the procedure, urine should be checked for a maximum of 1 hour, or no later than 2 hours after urine is urinated. Delays in examinations can affect the results of the examination, including glucose parameters in the urine. Research Objectives :To determine the effect of delaying examination of glucose levels in urine. Research Methods : The type of this research is pre-experimental design. This research was conducted on January 7 to March 25, 2019 at the Clinical Laboratory Installation at the Panti Rapih Hospital in Yogyakarta. This research is using 11 remaining samples from outpatients who had known glucose levels in the urine, then examined at a delay of 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours at room temperature (20-25 ° C). Data analysis using the Kruskal-Wallis Test. Results : Based on the results of statistical tests that have been carried out, it can be seen that there is no effect of delaying the examination of glucose levels in urine that are immediately examined and delayed for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, at room temperature (20-25 ° C) with a significant level of 0.987 which means (p> 0.05). Conclusion : There is no effect of delaying the examination of glucose levels in urine that are immediately examined and delayed for 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, at room temperature (20-25 ° C). Keywords : Examination of glucose level in urine, delay.
