    What Is the Sodium, Urine Test?

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

    Shifts in the body’s sodium-water balance can result in variations in sodium levels in the blood and urine. The Urine Sodium test in Gurgaon helps identify whether sodium levels in the urine are either too high or too low, which may indicate poor kidney function in filtering sodium due to underlying health issues. This test provides an evaluation of the body’s fluid and electrolyte balance, contributing to an understanding of overall health.

    Sodium, Urine Test Parameters

    The Urine Sodium test measures just one variable: the amount of sodium found in the urine. To accurately detect imbalances caused by health problems or medications, it is essential to monitor sodium levels in both the blood and urine. Normally, low blood sodium results in higher urine sodium, while high blood sodium leads to lower urine sodium. Certain conditions, including heart failure, malnutrition, and diarrhoea, can also lead to low sodium in the urine.
