    What Is the Sodium, Urine Test?

    A Urine Sodium test determines the amount of sodium present in your urine sample. Sodium is an essential electrolyte and mineral that assists in managing the body's fluid balance and plays a key role in nerve and muscle functions. About 85% of the body’s sodium resides in the blood and lymphatic fluid. The hormone aldosterone, produced by the adrenal glands, helps regulate sodium levels by signalling the kidneys to conserve sodium rather than excreting it in the urine. Small amounts of sodium are also lost through sweat.

    Alterations in the body's sodium-water balance can lead to variations in sodium levels in both the blood and urine. The Urine Sodium test in Delhi is used to determine if sodium levels in the urine are too high or low, which could indicate that the kidneys are not efficiently filtering sodium due to underlying health conditions. This test aids in evaluating the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance, providing important insights into overall health.

    Sodium, Urine Test Parameters

    The Urine Sodium test focuses on a single measure: the sodium concentration in urine. Ideally, sodium levels in both blood and urine should be tested to detect imbalances arising from health conditions or medications. Generally, when blood sodium levels are low, urine sodium levels rise, and when blood sodium is high, urine sodium levels fall. Low urine sodium levels can also be seen in conditions like heart failure, malnutrition, and diarrhoea.
