Specimen: Urine (24-hour)
This test measures how much sodium your body excretes over 24 hours, reflecting dietary salt intake and kidney function. It helps assess hydration status, blood pressure control, and whether sodium balance is appropriate for your health goals.
Athletes lose sodium through sweat during training and competition; 24-hour urine sodium helps determine if your intake matches losses and supports proper fluid balance, muscle function, and cardiovascular stability. This is most relevant if you train in heat, do prolonged endurance events, or have concerns about electrolyte management and recovery.
