What is 24 Hrs Urinary Electrolytes?

This test measures the levels of key electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride excreted in your urine over 24 hours. It helps assess your body's fluid and electrolyte balance and kidney function.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal urinary electrolyte levels can indicate kidney disorders, adrenal gland problems, or issues with fluid balance. It's often used to investigate causes of high blood pressure or swelling.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all your urine over a 24-hour period. Follow specific instructions regarding diet and medication, as some can affect electrolyte levels.
