What is 24 Hrs Urinary Calcium?

This test measures the amount of calcium excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. It helps assess how your body processes calcium, which is vital for bone health and many bodily functions.

Why is this test important?

It is important for evaluating kidney stone risk, bone disorders like osteoporosis, and conditions affecting calcium metabolism, such as parathyroid gland issues. It helps doctors understand calcium balance in your body.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all urine passed over a 24-hour period in a special container. Start by emptying your bladder and discarding that urine, then collect all subsequent urine for the next 24 hours, including the first urine the following morning. Keep the container refrigerated during collection.
