What is 24 Hrs Urinary Magnesium?

This test measures the total amount of magnesium, an essential mineral, excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. It helps assess your body's magnesium balance and kidney's ability to regulate it.

Why is this test important?

Urinary magnesium levels are important for investigating causes of magnesium deficiency or excess, which can affect muscle, nerve, and heart function. It also helps evaluate kidney reabsorption issues.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all your urine over a 24-hour period. Inform your doctor about any medications or supplements you are taking, as they might affect results.
