What is URINARY ALUMINIUM?

This test measures the level of aluminum excreted in your urine. It helps assess your body's exposure to and elimination of aluminum, which can accumulate from various sources.

Why is this test important?

Elevated urinary aluminum levels can indicate excessive exposure or impaired kidney function, which can lead to aluminum toxicity. Toxicity can affect bone health, the nervous system, and red blood cell production.

How to Prepare

Your doctor may advise you to avoid certain medications or supplements containing aluminum before the test. A 24-hour urine collection may be required.
