Urine Calcium – Spot Sample test measures the amount of calcium in a single urine sample, helping assess calcium metabolism and detect kidney or metabolic disorders.
Urine Calcium – Spot Sample is a diagnostic test used to measure the concentration of calcium in a single urine sample. Calcium is an essential mineral involved in bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Normally, only a small amount of calcium is excreted in urine.
Abnormal levels of calcium in urine may indicate disorders related to calcium metabolism, kidney function, or hormonal imbalances.
A spot urine sample is collected at a specific time and analysed to determine calcium concentration. The results may sometimes be interpreted along with urine creatinine levels to assess calcium excretion more accurately.
The purpose of this test is to:
