About This Test
The Spot Urine Magnesium Test measures the concentration of magnesium (Mg²⁺) in a single, randomly collected urine sample.
It helps assess renal handling of magnesium — whether the kidneys are conserving or excreting too much magnesium. It is most useful for determining the cause of abnormal blood magnesium levels (hypomagnesemia or hypermagnesemia). This test is used to evaluate causes of hypomagnesemia or hypermagnesemia, to assess renal magnesium wasting, monitor magnesium loss in patients on diuretics or chemotherapy, evaluate tubular function in renal disorders, differentiate renal vs. gastrointestinal magnesium loss

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
