This test may be used to diagnose or monitor kidney function or kidney stones. Also, it may be used to diagnose disorders of the parathyroid.
Calcium in urine tests determines the amount of calcium in the urine. Calcium is an essential mineral in our body. We need calcium for healthy bones and teeth. Calcium also aids in the functioning of nerves, muscles and the heart. A significant part of the body's calcium is stored in the bones. A small amount circulates in the blood; the remaining is filtered by the kidneys and excreted through the urine.
Abnormal urine calcium levels indicate medical conditions, such as kidney disease or kidney stones, certain bone diseases and other medical problems.
