Blood and Urine Sample Collection From Healthy Volunteers

Blood and Urine Sample Collection From Healthy Volunteers

The aim of the study is to obtain blood and urine samples from healthy volunteers to serve as a healthy control group for cross-cohort comparisons.

The aim of the study is to obtain peripheral venous blood samples and a urine sample from 100 healthy volunteers on one day at three different times of the day, to serve as a healthy control group for cross-cohort comparisons.

With the help of the urine and blood samples obtained in this context, a cohort of a healthy collective is to be established for further research purposes.
