What is 24 Hrs Urinary Sodium?

This test measures the amount of sodium excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. It helps evaluate your body's fluid and electrolyte balance, especially sodium regulation by the kidneys.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal urinary sodium levels can indicate kidney disorders, adrenal gland problems, heart failure, or dehydration. It's used to assess fluid status and guide treatment for electrolyte imbalances.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all your urine for a full 24-hour period in a special container provided. Follow specific instructions on how to start and end the collection.
