Also Known As:

24 Hrs Urinary Potassium

The 24-hour urinary potassium test measures the amount of potassium excreted by the kidneys over a full day, providing vital information about renal potassium handling, hormonal control (aldosterone activity), and electrolyte disturbances. This test is a critical investigation for evaluating renal tubular function, aldosterone activity, and causes of potassium imbalance. It helps differentiate renal vs. extrarenal potassium loss, assess acid–base disorders, and monitor diuretic or hormonal therapy.

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.

TAT Policy

The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:

  • Registration date and time
  • Type of scan or test
  • Scan time or sample collection time

Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
