    What is Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test measures the level of citrate excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Citrate is a key urinary metabolite involved in preventing kidney stone formation and maintaining a healthy urinary environment. This test is essential for assessing the risk of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and diagnosing conditions such as renal tubular acidosis.

    Citrate excretion is often reduced in conditions like renal tubular acidosis, leading to higher acidity in urine and an increased risk of stone formation.

    Measuring citrate levels in a 24-hour urine test helps assess kidney stone risk, guide dietary modifications, and evaluate metabolic disorders. Individuals residing in Bangalore may schedule a Citrate 24 Hours Urine test at home.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Parameters

    The Citrate test measures the urinary citrate levels over 24 hours.

    Citrate, a substance produced in the body, is a natural inhibitor of kidney stone formation. Citrate binds with calcium in the urine and helps maintain an alkaline urine pH, which reduces the risk of uric acid and cystine stones. Acidic urine increases the likelihood of these stones, whereas alkaline urine helps dissolve them. Thus, it prevents the crystallisation of calcium salts in the urine.

    Low urinary citrate, also known as hypocitraturia, is a major risk factor for kidney stone formation. It may result from conditions like metabolic disorders, chronic diarrhoea, renal tubular acidosis, high-protein or low-alkaline diets, or dehydration. Elevated urinary citrate levels are less common but may occur due to a higher intake of citric acid-rich foods, certain medications, or metabolic conditions.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Preparation

    Check these steps to prepare for a Citrate 24 Hours Urine test at home:

    • Prerequisites : The test does not require special preparations. Fasting may not be mandatory for the test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test should ideally be scheduled in the morning to ensure 24 hours of sample collection.

    • Who Should Get a Citrate 24 Hours Urine Test? : This test is recommended for individuals with recurrent kidney stones, renal tubular acidosis, or metabolic disorders. Those with a family history of kidney stones or unexplained metabolic imbalances may also need testing.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Citrate 24 Hours Urine Test : Citrate levels vary with diet, hydration, and medications, so follow your normal routine unless advised otherwise. Inform your doctor about any medications that may affect results. Proper 24-hour urine collection is essential to ensure accuracy.

    Why Take the Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    Low urinary citrate levels often go unnoticed until kidney stones develop. Common symptoms include:

    • Severe flank or abdominal pain

    • Frequent and painful urination

    • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

    • Nausea and vomiting

    • Difficulty in passing urine

    The 24-Hours Citrate test is essential for:

    • Assessing Kidney Stone Risk: Low levels of citrate are associated with an increased risk of kidney stones. This test provides an estimate of the kidney stone risk.

    • Diagnosing Hypocitraturia: The test helps identify low urinary citrate, a major cause of kidney stones, allowing for preventive treatment.

    • Monitoring Treatment Effectiveness: Regular testing helps evaluate the individual’s response to dietary changes, citrate supplements, or medications.

    • Detecting Underlying Metabolic Conditions: The test is helpful in diagnosing metabolic conditions like renal tubular acidosis, chronic diarrhoea syndromes, and high-protein or high-sodium diets contributing to low citrate levels.

    • Preventing Recurrence: Maintaining normal citrate levels in the long term through regular testing can reduce kidney stone recurrence by up to 80%.
