    What Is the Sodium, Urine Test?

    A Urine Sodium test assesses the amount of sodium in your urine sample. Sodium is an important mineral and electrolyte that helps regulate the body's fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as being vital for muscle and nerve function. Approximately 85% of the body's sodium is found in the blood and lymphatic fluid. The hormone aldosterone, produced by the adrenal glands, helps control sodium levels by prompting the kidneys to retain sodium rather than excrete it in the urine. Sodium is also lost through sweat, though in small quantities.

    A change in the body's sodium-water balance can lead to fluctuations in sodium levels in both blood and urine. The Urine Sodium test in Mumbai helps determine if sodium levels in the urine are abnormally high or low, which could suggest that the kidneys are not effectively filtering sodium due to underlying health concerns. The test aids in assessing the body's fluid and electrolyte balance, offering valuable insights into overall health.

    Sodium, Urine Test Parameters

    The Urine Sodium test assesses only one factor: the sodium content in the urine. It is generally recommended to test sodium levels in both the blood and urine to detect any imbalances that might be caused by medical conditions or treatments. Typically, when blood sodium is low, urine sodium will be elevated, and when blood sodium is high, urine sodium is lower. Conditions such as heart failure, malnutrition, and diarrhoea may also cause reduced urine sodium levels.
