What is URINARY SODIUM?

This test measures the concentration of sodium in your urine, which is another vital electrolyte. It helps assess your body's water and salt balance and how well your kidneys are functioning in regulating these levels.

Why is this test important?

Urinary sodium levels are important for diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to fluid balance, such as dehydration, heart failure, kidney disease, and certain hormonal imbalances. It helps determine the cause of abnormal blood sodium levels.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
