About This Test
The Spot Urinary Calcium test measures the amount of calcium excreted in a single random urine sample.
Calcium is a vital mineral for bone formation, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Normally, the kidneys regulate calcium levels carefully — excreting only small amounts.
Therefore, abnormal urinary calcium levels can indicate parathyroid, bone, or renal tubular disorders.
This test is often paired with urinary creatinine to calculate the Calcium/Creatinine Ratio (Ca/Cr Ratio) for a more reliable assessment of calcium excretion.
This test helps in screen for hypercalciuria (especially in recurrent kidney stone patients), Monitor calcium balance in metabolic bone disorders, monitor response to therapy in parathyroid or vitamin D disorders.
