The urine chloride test measures the concentration of this electrolyte in a 24-hour urine sample. It is essential for evaluating acid-base balance and kidney function, as well as for diagnosing and monitoring diseases related to electrolyte imbalances. We use the Ion-selective technique to ensure accurate and reliable results. This test is crucial for patients experiencing symptoms of dehydration, kidney disease, or electrolyte imbalances.
Collect all urine voided over a 24-hour period in an appropriate container. At the end of the period, mix well and take a 10 mL aliquot for analysis. It is important to indicate the total volume of urine collected. Inform staff about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may interfere with the results.
