Urinary Phosphorus ( 24Hrs)

Also Known As: 24 hrs urinary phosphorus

About This Test

The Urinary Phosphorus (24-hour) test measures the total amount of inorganic phosphate excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Phosphorus plays a key role in bone mineralization, energy metabolism (ATP), and acid–base balance. Approximately 80–90% of body phosphorus is stored in bones as calcium phosphate, while the rest is found in soft tissues and extracellular fluid. The kidneys regulate phosphate balance, maintaining steady plasma phosphate levels through reabsorption and excretion mechanisms in the renal tubules. Abnormal urinary phosphorus levels may indicate disorders of bone metabolism, parathyroid dysfunction, or renal tubular defects.
