What does Potassium- Urine Random measure?
This test measures the amount of potassium in urine. It may be used to help assess how the kidneys are handling potassium and to investigate possible causes of abnormal blood potassium levels. Healthcare professionals may order it when evaluating fluid or electrolyte balance, kidney-related concerns, or the effects of certain medicines. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory tests.
