24 Hour Urinary Potassium (BC0003)

Description

24-Hour Urinary Potassium is a urine test used to measure the total amount of potassium excreted in urine over a full 24-hour period. It helps evaluate potassium balance, differentiate renal from non-renal causes of hypokalemia or hyperkalemia, and assess disorders related to adrenal function, kidney disease, and electrolyte imbalance. This test is often interpreted alongside serum potassium, sodium, renin, and aldosterone levels.
