Description:
Random Sodium Urine Test
This test measures sodium levels in a single random urine sample. Sodium is an important electrolyte which contributes to a number of healthy bodily functions. The kidneys are responsible for eliminating excess sodium from the body. When sodium levels are too high it can be an indicator of Kidney failure. Other issues such as dehydration, diarrhea, recent vomiting, an underactive thyroid, heart failure, and cirrhosis can cause abnormally high or low sodium levels.
A urine sodium test is often ordered as a followup to irregular results on a Sodium Blood Test. A 24-Hour Urine Sodium Test is also available.
Turnaround for this test is 1-2 business days.
