Calcium/Creatinine Ratio - Spot Urine
What does Calcium/Creatinine Ratio - Spot Urine measure?
This test measures the ratio of calcium to creatinine in urine. It may help assess how much calcium is being excreted relative to urine concentration, which can vary during the day. A healthcare professional may order it when evaluating suspected high urinary calcium, kidney stone risk, certain parathyroid or metabolic conditions, or monitoring calcium-related disorders. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
