What does Sodium Random Urine measure?
The Sodium Random Urine test is used to measure the amount of sodium excreted in your urine at any point in time during the day. Sodium is present in all body fluids and is found in the highest concentration in the extracellular fluid. You need an adequate amount of sodium to balance other minerals that are in your body. Sodium is also needed to carry nutrients to different parts of your body. Your body absorbs the required amount of sodium through dietary salts and the remaining is eliminated through the kidneys. This test helps your doctor to find out if you have kidney damage or another condition that can be alarming for your health.
