What is URINARY CALCIUM / CREATININE RATIO?

This test measures the ratio of calcium to creatinine in a single urine sample. It provides a quick way to assess calcium excretion relative to kidney function, without a 24-hour collection.

Why is this test important?

The urinary calcium/creatinine ratio is often used to screen for high calcium levels in urine (hypercalciuria) and to monitor treatment for kidney stone prevention. It helps identify individuals at risk for calcium-related kidney issues.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required, but a first-morning urine sample is often preferred for accuracy. Follow any specific instructions given upon booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
