Description

A urine potassium test measures the amount of potassium in your urine to evaluate kidney function, assess electrolyte imbalance, and investigate causes of high blood pressure, muscle weakness, or other symptoms of potassium disorders like hyperkalemia (high levels) or hypokalemia (low levels). The test involves providing either a single (random) urine sample or collecting all urine over a 24-hour period in a special container. Why the Test Is Done Monitor kidney function: To see how well your kidneys are handling potassium and maintaining balance. Diagnose electrolyte imbalances: To determine if potassium levels are too high or too low in the body. Investigate symptoms: To find the cause of symptoms like muscle cramps, fatigue, or an irregular heartbeat. Check medication effects: To monitor how diuretics or other medications are affecting your potassium levels. Evaluate kidney disease: To help diagnose or monitor chronic kidney conditions, notes Aditya Birla Memorial Hospital. How the Test Is Performed Sample Collection: You will either: Provide a random urine sample: A single sample collected at any time of the day in a clean container. Perform a 24-hour collection: Discard your first urine sample, then collect all subsequent urine over a 24-hour period in a large, provided container. Container Handling: Keep the container cool or refrigerated during the collection period. Lab Analysis: The urine sample is then sent to a laboratory for testing.
