    What is Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test evaluates the citrate level excreted in urine over a full day. Citrate is an important urinary metabolite that inhibits kidney stone formation and maintains urinary balance. This test is useful for assessing nephrolithiasis (kidney stone) risk and diagnosing renal tubular acidosis.

    Citrate excretion is frequently reduced in conditions such as renal tubular acidosis, leading to higher urine acidity and an increased likelihood of kidney stone development.

    Analysing citrate levels in a 24-hour urine sample assists in evaluating kidney stone risk, making dietary adjustments, and detecting metabolic imbalances. Individuals in Mumbai can opt for a home collection of the Citrate 24 Hours Urine test.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Parameters

    The Citrate test evaluates the amount of citrate excreted in urine over 24 hours.

    Citrate, a naturally occurring compound in the body, plays a vital role in kidney stone prevention. It binds with calcium in the urine and helps regulate pH levels, reducing the risk of uric acid and cystine stone formation. Acidic urine increases stone risk, while an alkaline pH promotes dissolution and prevents calcium salt crystallisation.

    A deficiency in urinary citrate, known as hypocitraturia, is a recognised risk factor for kidney stone development. It may be linked to conditions such as renal tubular acidosis, metabolic disorders, dehydration, chronic diarrhoea, or dietary factors like a high-protein or low-alkaline diet. Higher-than-normal citrate levels in urine are less common but may be associated with increased consumption of citric acid-rich foods, certain medications, or metabolic conditions.
