    What is Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test measures the amount of citrate excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Citrate plays a crucial role in preventing kidney stone formation by reducing calcium crystal accumulation and supporting urinary health. This test is essential for assessing nephrolithiasis (kidney stone) risk and diagnosing metabolic conditions such as renal tubular acidosis.

    Reduced citrate excretion, commonly seen in renal tubular acidosis, leads to increased urine acidity and a higher risk of kidney stone formation.

    Measuring citrate levels in a 24-hour urine test helps assess kidney stone risk, support dietary recommendations, and evaluate metabolic disorders. Individuals in Hyderabad may book a home-based Citrate 24 Hours Urine test.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Parameters

    The Citrate test measures urinary citrate excretion over a 24-hour period. Citrate is a key metabolite that helps inhibit kidney stone formation by binding to calcium and maintaining an alkaline urine pH. This prevents the crystallisation of calcium salts and reduces the risk of uric acid and cystine stones. Acidic urine promotes stone formation, while an alkaline environment helps dissolve it.

    Low urinary citrate, or hypocitraturia, is a major risk factor for kidney stones and can result from metabolic disorders, renal tubular acidosis, dehydration, chronic diarrhoea, or dietary imbalances such as a high-protein or low-alkaline diet. Elevated citrate levels in urine are less frequent but may occur due to certain metabolic conditions, increased intake of citric acid-rich foods, or certain medications.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Preparation

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

    • Prerequisites : No specific preparations are required, and fasting is typically unnecessary.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : You may schedule the urine test in the morning to ensure a 24-hour sample collection.

    • Who Should Get a Citrate 24 Hours Urine Test? : Individuals with a family history of kidney stones or unexplained metabolic disturbances may require the Citrate 24 Hours Urine test. The test is also recommended for individuals with recurrent kidney stones, metabolic disorders, or renal tubular acidosis.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Citrate 24 Hours Urine Test : Citrate levels vary depending on diet, fluid intake, and medications. Stick to your usual routine unless otherwise instructed. Inform your doctor about any medications that could impact the results. Collecting a full 24-hour urine sample is essential for test accuracy.

    Why Take the Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    Low urinary citrate levels are often asymptomatic until kidney stones form. Symptoms may include:

    • Sharp pain in the flank or abdominal area

    • Difficulty in urination

    • Burning sensation during urination

    • Increased urinary frequency

    • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

    • Nausea and vomiting episodes

    The 24-Hour Citrate test is essential for:

    • Diagnosing Hypocitraturia: Early detection of low citrate levels allows for preventive measures to be taken against kidney stone formation.

    • Evaluating Kidney Stone Formation Risk: Low citrate levels can contribute to stone development, and this test provides a risk assessment.

    • Reducing Recurrence Rates of Kidney Stones: Regular testing and maintaining optimal citrate levels can decrease the recurrence of kidney stones by up to 80%.

    • Assessing Treatment Progress: This test helps monitor the success of dietary changes, citrate supplementation, or other medical treatments.

    • Detecting Metabolic Conditions: The test can diagnose underlying metabolic disorders, including renal tubular acidosis, chronic diarrhoea, and imbalanced diets high in sodium or protein.
