Description:
Calcium Creatinine Ratio Urine Test (Labcorp)
This test measures calcium and creatinine levels in a random urine sample. Increased levels of calcium in the urine are typically associated with a condition knows as Hypercalciuria. Hypercalciuria can be related to a number of health concerns. Some of the most common conditions associated with elevated urinary calcium levels are:
- Increased risk of developing kidney stones
- Prostate cancer
- Kidney disease
- Bone density disorders
Excess calcium excretion in urine may be the result of a diet with too much sodium or an inherited genetic disorder.
Irregular results on a random calcium urine test may be followed up with a 24-hour calcium urine test.
Turnaround for this test is typically 1-2 business days.
