    What is Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test assesses the level of citrate excreted in urine within a 24-hour period. Citrate is essential for preventing kidney stone formation by inhibiting calcium salt crystallisation and supporting a healthy urinary environment. This test is crucial for determining the risk of nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) and diagnosing conditions like renal tubular acidosis. A reduction in citrate excretion, often observed in renal tubular acidosis, leads to increased urine acidity and a higher probability of kidney stone formation.

    Measuring citrate levels in a 24-hour urine test helps assess kidney stone risk, guide dietary modifications, and detect metabolic disorders. Individuals in Noida can schedule a home-based Citrate 24 Hours Urine test.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Parameters

    The Citrate test quantifies urinary citrate levels over a 24-hour period.

    Citrate is a crucial component in kidney stone prevention, as it binds with calcium and helps maintain an alkaline urine pH. This reduces the risk of uric acid and cystine stones while preventing calcium salt crystallisation. Acidic urine promotes stone formation, whereas an alkaline pH helps dissolve them.

    Hypocitraturia, or low urinary citrate levels, is a significant risk factor for kidney stones and may result from metabolic disorders, renal tubular acidosis, dehydration, chronic diarrhoea, or dietary influences such as a high-protein or low-alkaline diet. Increased urinary citrate levels are less common but may occur due to higher consumption of citric acid-rich foods, certain medications, or metabolic conditions.

    Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test Preparation

    To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation steps for the Citrate 24 Hours Urine test:

    • Prerequisites : No specific preparation is required, and fasting is not generally needed.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : The test should ideally be started in the morning to allow for a full 24-hour urine collection.

    • Who Should Get a Citrate 24 Hours Urine Test? : The test is recommended for individuals who have recurrent kidney stones, metabolic disorders, or renal tubular acidosis. Those with a family history of kidney stones or unexplained metabolic conditions may also need it.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Citrate 24 Hours Urine Test : Citrate levels can be influenced by diet, hydration, and medications. Stick to your usual routine unless otherwise advised. Inform your doctor about any medications that could impact the test results. Proper 24-hour urine collection is necessary for reliable findings.

    Why Take the Citrate, 24 hours Urine Test?

    A lack of sufficient citrate in urine often remains undetected until kidney stones develop. Common symptoms include:

    • Sharp pain in the abdomen or flank region

    • Frequent urination with a burning sensation

    • Cloudy or foul-smelling urine

    • Episodes of nausea and vomiting

    • Difficulty urinating

    The Citrate 24 Hours Urine test is crucial for the:

    • Determining Kidney Stone Risk: Low citrate levels increase the chance of kidney stone formation, and this test helps assess the risk.

    • Minimising Recurrence: Maintaining adequate citrate levels through regular testing can lower kidney stone recurrence rates by up to 80%.

    • Monitoring Treatment Response: Routine testing allows for tracking the impact of dietary changes, citrate supplements, or medications.

    • Detecting Metabolic Disorders: The test helps diagnose underlying metabolic disorders, including renal tubular acidosis, chronic diarrhoea conditions, and dietary patterns that affect citrate levels.

    • Identifying Hypocitraturia: Since low urinary citrate contributes to kidney stone development, early detection supports preventive care.
