What is 24 Hrs Urinary Aluminium?

This test measures the amount of aluminum excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. It helps assess your body's exposure to aluminum and how well your kidneys are eliminating it. High levels can indicate excessive exposure or impaired kidney function.

Why is this test important?

Primarily used to monitor aluminum levels in individuals with kidney disease, especially those on dialysis, as they are at higher risk of aluminum accumulation. It can also help investigate suspected aluminum toxicity, which can affect bones, brain, and blood cells.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all urine passed over a full 24-hour period into a special container. Avoid aluminum-containing antacids or medications if advised by your doctor.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
