About test
What does Sodium - 24hrs Urine measure?
This test measures the amount of sodium excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. It may be used to assess sodium balance, dietary sodium intake, kidney handling of sodium, and the body’s fluid regulation. Healthcare professionals may order it when evaluating conditions associated with blood pressure changes, swelling, dehydration, kidney function, or hormone-related electrolyte disturbances. Results are interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory tests.
