Calcium Urine Test – 24-Hour Urine Calcium Test in London
Our Calcium Urine Test measures the amount of calcium excreted in your urine over a 24-hour period. This private urine test can provide useful information about how your body is processing and eliminating calcium and may be requested when investigating abnormal calcium levels, recurrent kidney stones, bone health or parathyroid function.
Calcium is an essential mineral needed for healthy bones and teeth, as well as normal muscle, nerve and heart function. Most calcium is stored in the bones, while smaller amounts circulate in the blood and are excreted through the kidneys. Measuring calcium levels in urine can help provide further insight into calcium balance and metabolism within the body.
Why might a urine calcium test be requested?
A 24-hour urine calcium test may be used as part of an investigation into:
- High or low calcium levels
- Recurrent or suspected kidney stones
- Calcium metabolism
- Parathyroid function
- Bone and mineral health
- Abnormal blood calcium results
- How much calcium is being excreted by the kidneys
How does the Calcium Urine Test work?
This test requires a 24-hour urine collection, rather than a single urine sample. Urine is collected over a complete 24-hour period so that the laboratory can measure the total amount of calcium excreted during that time.
Your sample is analysed by The Doctors Laboratory (TDL), a leading UK diagnostic laboratory.
