    What Is the Sodium, Urine Test?

    A Urine Sodium test checks the level of sodium in your urine sample. Sodium is a crucial mineral and electrolyte that aids in maintaining the body's fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as supporting muscle and nerve function. Around 85% of the body's sodium is stored in the blood and lymphatic fluid. The adrenal glands produce aldosterone, a hormone that regulates sodium levels by instructing the kidneys to hold on to sodium instead of eliminating it in the urine. Sodium is also excreted through sweat, but in minimal amounts.

    Changes in the body’s sodium-water balance can affect sodium levels in both blood and urine. The Urine Sodium test in Hyderabad helps detect if sodium levels in the urine are abnormally high or low, potentially indicating that the kidneys are not filtering sodium effectively due to underlying health problems. The test helps assess the body's fluid and electrolyte balance and provides valuable insights into overall health.

    Sodium, Urine Test Parameters

    The Urine Sodium test measures a single parameter: the amount of sodium in the urine. To identify potential imbalances linked to health issues or medications, it's usually necessary to check sodium levels in both the blood and urine. In general, when blood sodium is low, urine sodium tends to be high, and vice versa. Conditions like heart failure, malnutrition, and diarrhoea may also result in low urine sodium levels.
