Overview
A urine calcium test measures the amount of calcium excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. It is used to evaluate calcium levels in the body and help diagnose conditions such as kidney stones, hyperparathyroidism, and certain bone disorders. To perform the test, a patient collects all urine passed over a 24-hour period in a container provided by the laboratory, which is then analyzed for calcium content. Results are typically reported in milligrams of calcium excreted per day.
Who should do this test?
Patients with a history of kidney stones: A 24-hour urine calcium test can help determine if there is an underlying metabolic issue that may be contributing to the formation of kidney stones.
Individuals with hypercalcemia: This test can be useful in evaluating the cause of elevated calcium levels in the blood, which can be associated with conditions such as hyperparathyroidism or certain types of cancer.
Those with a family history of genetic disorders affecting calcium metabolism: In cases where there is a known genetic predisposition to conditions such as familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia or familial hypercalciuria, a urine calcium test can be helpful in monitoring and managing the condition.
