What is ELECTROLYTES, URINE?

This test measures the levels of important electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride in your urine. It helps assess how well your kidneys are balancing these essential minerals, which play a crucial role in maintaining fluid balance and nerve and muscle function.

Why is this test important?

Measuring urine electrolytes can help diagnose and monitor conditions affecting kidney function, fluid balance, and electrolyte imbalances. It's often used to investigate causes of high or low blood pressure, swelling, or problems with urination.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to collect a urine sample over a specific period (e.g., 24 hours). Follow specific instructions provided for collection.
