Take Control of Your Kidney Health with Our 24-Hour Urine Citrate Test
Are you tired of worrying about kidney stones or experiencing unexplained urinary discomfort? Many South Africans struggle with urinary health issues without understanding the underlying causes. Our 24-Hour Urine Citrate Test provides the answers you need to protect your kidneys and prevent painful stone formation. For just ZAR 350, gain valuable insights into your body’s natural defence mechanisms against kidney stones.
Understanding Your 24-Hour Urine Citrate Test
This specialised test measures the amount of citrate in your urine over a 24-hour period. Citrate is a natural substance that helps prevent kidney stones by binding with calcium in your urine, stopping crystals from forming. When citrate levels are low, your risk of developing painful kidney stones increases significantly. Our test uses advanced spectrophotometry and enzymatic methods to provide precise, reliable measurements that your healthcare provider can use to develop an effective prevention strategy.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent kidney stones or family history of stone formation
- Unexplained urinary discomfort or frequent UTIs
- Metabolic conditions that affect urinary health
- Medications that may impact citrate levels
- Dietary concerns affecting your urinary system
- Planning pregnancy with kidney health considerations
Many patients find relief in understanding their citrate levels, as it provides a clear path toward prevention rather than just treating symptoms.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Early detection of low citrate levels can help you:
- Prevent painful kidney stone episodes before they occur
- Reduce emergency room visits and medical costs
- Develop targeted dietary and lifestyle changes
- Monitor the effectiveness of preventive treatments
- Gain peace of mind about your urinary health
- Avoid complications from recurrent stone formation
Knowledge is power when it comes to kidney health, and this test provides the information needed to take proactive steps.
Understanding Your Test Results
Your results will show your 24-hour citrate excretion levels. Our medical team provides clear explanations of what your numbers mean:
- Normal Range: Indicates adequate natural protection against stone formation
