    What is Sodium, Urine Test?

    A Urine Sodium test measures how much sodium is present in your urine sample. Sodium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that helps maintain the body's fluid and electrolyte balance. It also plays a key role in functions of the muscles and nerves. About 85% of the body's sodium is found in the blood and lymph fluid. The hormone aldosterone, produced by the adrenal glands, helps regulate sodium levels by signalling the kidneys to retain sodium instead of excreting it in urine. Sodium is also lost through sweat but in small amounts.

    A shift in the body's sodium-water balance can cause changes in sodium levels in blood and urine. The Urine Sodium test in Bangalore helps identify if sodium levels in urine are too high or too low, which may indicate that the kidneys are not filtering sodium well due to underlying health issues. The test helps evaluate the body's fluid and electrolyte balance, providing insights into overall health.

    Sodium, Urine Test Parameters

    The Urine Sodium test measures only one parameter: the amount of sodium present in the urine. Ideally, checking sodium levels in both blood and urine is necessary to identify possible imbalances caused by health conditions or medications. Typically, when blood sodium levels are low, urine sodium levels are high, and when blood sodium is high, urine sodium is low. Certain conditions, such as heart failure, malnutrition, and diarrhoea, can also lead to low urine sodium levels.
