Service Providers for 24 hrs. Urinary Chloride (Cl)
24-Hour Urinary Chloride (Cl) is a test that measures the amount of chloride excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. Chloride is an important electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance, blood pressure, and acid-base balance in the body. This test is used to assess kidney function, electrolyte imbalances, or conditions like renal tubular acidosis, dehydration, and salt retention disorders. The test requires collecting all urine over 24 hours, and there is typically no special preparation, though patients may be asked to avoid certain foods or medications that affect chloride levels.
