How our test process works!
Overview:
- A diagnostic test to measure electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride excreted in the urine over 24 hours.
- Provides insights into kidney function, electrolyte imbalances, and potential metabolic disorders.
- Commonly used to evaluate hypertension, kidney stones, or adrenal gland disorders.
Normal Ranges:
(Normal values may slightly vary by lab.)
- Sodium (Na⁺): 40–220 mmol/day
- Potassium (K⁺): 25–125 mmol/day
- Chloride (Cl⁻): 110–250 mmol/day
- Calcium (Ca²⁺): <300 mg/day (men); <250 mg/day (women)
- Magnesium: 3.5-12.5 mmol/24h.
Sample Type:
- Collection: Entire urine output collected over 24 hours.
- Container: Special urine container, often with preservative.
- Instructions:
- Start after discarding the first-morning void.
- Refrigerate the sample during collection.
