Order Calcium, Urine TestA calcium, urine test measures how much calcium is leaving the body through the kidneys over a defined collection period.

About Calcium, Urine Test in Bronx
Urine calcium testing is most often used to evaluate parathyroid function, kidney stone risk, and bone metabolism.
The test quantifies calcium excreted in urine. It is frequently ordered alongside blood calcium and parathyroid hormone measurements, since comparing the two helps distinguish between conditions that raise calcium levels for different reasons.
Collection usually follows one of two formats: a random urine sample, or a timed collection, most commonly over twenty-four hours. A timed collection is generally preferred when the goal is to estimate total daily excretion, because calcium output varies across the day with meals and activity.
Results are interpreted against the collection volume, the length of the collection period, and the reference range used by the performing laboratory. Diet, hydration, medications, and vitamin D status can all influence the measured value, so results are best read in the context of the full clinical picture.
