Urine Spot Sodium
Overview
The Urine Spot Sodium test measures the concentration of sodium in a single urine sample. It helps assess kidney function and fluid balance, providing insights into conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, and kidney disease. Sodium levels in urine can indicate how well the body is regulating sodium and fluid. The test is often used alongside other tests to evaluate overall electrolyte balance and guide treatment decisions. To ensure accuracy, patients are usually advised to avoid excessive salt intake and certain medications before the test. Results are interpreted in the context of a patient’s clinical condition and other diagnostic information.
