What does Potassium- 24 hrs Urine measure?
This test measures the amount of potassium excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Potassium is an important mineral that helps support normal nerve, muscle, and heart function. The test may be used to help assess potassium balance, investigate low or high blood potassium levels, evaluate kidney handling of potassium, or monitor certain conditions and medicines that can affect electrolyte levels. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory tests.
