About this test
The Urine Calcium Creatinine Ratio test measures the ratio of calcium to creatinine in a urine sample. It is commonly used to assess calcium excretion and help diagnose conditions related to kidney function, bone metabolism, and parathyroid disorders.

The Urine Calcium Creatinine Ratio test is a useful diagnostic tool that evaluates the amount of calcium excreted in urine in relation to creatinine. This ratio helps provide an accurate assessment of calcium loss without requiring a 24-hour urine collection, making it convenient and efficient.

Calcium plays a vital role in bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Abnormal calcium excretion may indicate underlying conditions such as kidney stones, hyperparathyroidism, or metabolic bone disorders. By comparing calcium levels with creatinine, this test helps normalize variations in urine concentration and provides more reliable results.

It is often recommended for patients with recurrent kidney stones, abnormal blood calcium levels, or suspected disorders of calcium metabolism. The test also aids in monitoring treatment response in individuals with known calcium-related conditions.

The purpose of the Urine Calcium Creatinine Ratio test is to:

  • Evaluate calcium excretion in urine
  • Help assess kidney function
  • Detect calcium metabolism disorders
  • Assist in diagnosing kidney stones
  • Assess parathyroid gland function
  • Monitor treatment in calcium-related conditions
