What does Calcium, Random Urine measure?
The Calcium, Random Urine test compares the amount of calcium and creatinine in a random urine sample. This ratio helps to assess how much calcium is being excreted relative to creatinine. Creatinine levels are relatively stable and serve as a good marker for kidney function, allowing the test to account for variations in urine concentration due to hydration status.
A high calcium/creatinine ratio can signal excessive calcium excretion, increasing the risk of kidney stones or bone disorders. Conversely, a low ratio may point to underexcretion of calcium, which may be associated with bone loss or metabolic conditions. By analyzing the ratio, doctors can assess whether calcium metabolism is balanced and if the kidneys are properly regulating calcium excretion.
