What is URINARY CALCIUM?

This test measures the amount of calcium excreted in your urine, often collected over a 24-hour period. It helps your doctor understand how your body is processing and eliminating calcium.

Why is this test important?

Urinary calcium levels are crucial for evaluating the risk of kidney stones, assessing bone health, and investigating conditions affecting calcium metabolism. Abnormal levels can indicate issues like hyperparathyroidism or certain kidney disorders.

How to Prepare

You will need to collect all urine passed over a 24-hour period. Specific instructions for collection and storage will be provided upon booking.
