Test Detail

Phosphorous, 24Hrs Urine

A 24-hour urine phosphorus test measures the total amount of inorganic phosphorus your body excretes in a 24-hour period, which helps evaluate phosphorus metabolism and overall balance. This vital mineral is crucial for building strong bones and teeth, energy production, and cell signaling. Abnormal results may indicate kidney problems, <hyperparathyroidism, or issues with phosphorus intake. The test requires a specific collection process where you save all urine for 24 hours, excluding the first morning void, to provide a comprehensive picture of your body's phosphorus levels.
