Urine for chloride (24hrs)

CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY

Urine for chloride (24hrs)

Also Known As: Urinary chloride
The 24-hour urinary chloride test measures the total amount of chloride excreted in urine over a full day, providing vital information about renal tubular function, acid–base disturbances, and body sodium balance, since chloride excretion closely parallels that of sodium.

24 Hours Urine Sample Collection Instructions

1. Start your 24 hours urine collection in the morning.
2. Do not collect the first urine of the day, but mark this as your start time.
3. Collect all the urine for the next 24 hours in the collection container. In order to get correct results, it is important to collect every urine sample.
4. The last urine sample should be as close to the starting time as possible and must be saved.
5. Do not urinate into the main container directly as it might have potentially hazardous preservatives and you might get splashed.
6. If the container has a preservative, please mix every time you add urine to the container.
7. Please remember to keep urine in container in refrigerator or cool temperature.
8. Once the urine collection has been completed, the containers need to be taken to the lab as soon as possible.

1. What tests are done in Clinical Biochemistry?
These tests measure things like blood sugar, liver function, kidney function, cholesterol and
electrolytes.
2. Do I need to report fasting?before these tests?
No, Fasting is not required.
3. How soon will I get my reports?
Mon-Sat, sample before 4pm, report same day and sunday reports, next day.
4. Are biochemistry tests reliable?
Yes. We use fully automated machines that ensure accurate and consistent results.
5. Can these tests detect early health problems?
Yes — a 24-hour urinary chloride test can help detect early health problems, particularly those related to electrolyte balance, kidney function, and acid-base disorders.

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.
