    What is Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test determines the amount of citrate excreted in urine over a full day. Citrate is essential for preventing kidney stone formation and maintaining urinary pH balance. This test is vital for assessing nephrolithiasis (kidney stone) risk and identifying conditions like renal tubular acidosis.

    In disorders such as renal tubular acidosis, citrate excretion is often reduced, increasing urine acidity and making kidney stone formation more likely.

    By measuring citrate levels in a 24-hour urine sample, this test helps evaluate kidney stone risk, guide dietary modifications, and assess metabolic conditions. Individuals in Gurgaon can conveniently schedule a Citrate 24 Hours Urine test at home.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Parameters

    The Citrate test determines the amount of citrate excreted in urine over 24 hours. Citrate, a naturally occurring substance in the body, plays a crucial role in preventing kidney stone formation. It binds with calcium in the urine and helps maintain an alkaline pH, reducing the likelihood of uric acid and cystine stone formation. Acidic urine increases the risk of these stones, whereas alkaline urine promotes their dissolution, preventing the crystallisation of calcium salts. Low citrate levels in urine, known as hypocitraturia, significantly increase the risk of kidney stones and may arise from metabolic disorders, renal tubular acidosis, chronic diarrhoea, dehydration, or an imbalanced diet. Elevated citrate levels in urine are less common but may occur due to a high intake of citric acid-rich foods, the use of certain medications, or metabolic conditions.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Preparation

    Here’s how to prepare for a Citrate 24 Hours Urine test at home:

    • Prerequisites : It is best to start the test in the morning to allow for full 24-hour urine collection.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : No special preparations are needed, and fasting is usually unnecessary.

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

    • Cautions Before Taking a Citrate 24 Hours Urine Test : Citrate levels can be influenced by diet, hydration, and medications. Follow your routine unless advised otherwise. Inform your doctor about any medications that may affect the results. Properly collecting urine over 24 hours is essential for accuracy.

    Why Take the Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    Low levels of urinary citrate often go unnoticed until kidney stones develop. Symptoms may include:

    • Severe pain in the abdomen or lower back

    • Frequent urination with discomfort

    • Urine that is cloudy or has an unpleasant smell

    • Nausea and vomiting

    • Difficulty urinating

    The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test plays a vital role in:

    • Assessing Kidney Stone Susceptibility: Low citrate levels are linked to a higher risk of kidney stones. This test helps gauge the risk.

    • Preventing Recurring Kidney Stones: Regular monitoring and maintaining normal citrate levels can help reduce kidney stone recurrence rates by up to 80%.

    • Detecting Hypocitraturia: Identifying a deficiency in urinary citrate allows for early management and stone prevention.

    • Monitoring Treatment Efficacy: The test helps track responses to dietary interventions, citrate supplements, and prescribed treatments.

    • Determining Metabolic Imbalances: It aids in diagnosing metabolic disorders, including renal tubular acidosis, chronic diarrhoea conditions, and dietary factors contributing to low citrate levels.

    Highest Rated Diagnostic Lab

    • I found Orange Health Labs while searching for a comprehensive allergy test. They offer the best price for this test among all the online pharmacies. None of 1mg, Netmeds, PharmEasy or Max have the option of a complete allergy test (236 allergens) at Rs 5000. So this is a huge bonus for common people like me. The sample collection staff was so good at their job, I didn't even feel when the needle was inserted and when the test was done also. Super polite customer service, digital payment, deep discount on allergy tests make this a highly recommended service. I had a marvelous experience with them.
