Electrolytes, 24H Urine

Description

The Electrolytes, 24H Urine test measures the levels of key electrolytes excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. This test typically includes measurements of sodium, potassium, chloride, and sometimes calcium and magnesium. It provides valuable information about kidney function, electrolyte balance, and the body’s ability to regulate these essential minerals. The 24-hour collection period allows for a more accurate assessment of electrolyte excretion compared to spot urine tests. This test is useful in diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as kidney disorders, adrenal gland problems, and certain metabolic disorders affecting electrolyte balance.
