What is 24 Hrs Urinary Oxalate?
This test measures the amount of oxalate, a natural substance found in many foods, excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. It helps assess your risk of kidney stone formation and evaluate metabolic disorders.
Why is this test important?
High levels of urinary oxalate are a major risk factor for calcium oxalate kidney stones, the most common type. This test is crucial for individuals with recurrent kidney stones or those suspected of having primary hyperoxaluria.
How to Prepare
You may be asked to avoid certain high-oxalate foods (like spinach, rhubarb, nuts, chocolate) for a period before and during the collection. Follow your doctor's specific dietary instructions carefully.
