Take Control of Your Sodium Balance for Better Health
Are you struggling with unexplained swelling, persistent high blood pressure, or concerns about your kidney function? Your body’s sodium regulation could hold the answers. Many South Africans face these health challenges without understanding the underlying causes. Our Sodium 24-Hour Urine Test provides the clarity you need to make informed decisions about your health journey.
Understanding Your Sodium 24-Hour Urine Test
This comprehensive test measures the amount of sodium your kidneys excrete over a 24-hour period, giving healthcare providers crucial information about how your body manages this essential mineral. Unlike single urine samples, the 24-hour collection provides a complete picture of your sodium handling, helping identify imbalances that could affect your blood pressure, fluid balance, and overall kidney health.
Using advanced Indirect Ion Selective Electrode technology, we ensure the highest accuracy in measuring your sodium levels. The test requires collecting all urine produced over 24 hours in a provided container, which is then refrigerated (not frozen) and delivered to our laboratory for analysis.
Who Should Consider This Essential Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent high blood pressure that’s difficult to control
- Unexplained swelling in your hands, feet, or ankles
- Kidney disease or concerns about kidney function
- Heart conditions requiring careful fluid management
- Medications that affect sodium balance
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness
- Liver disease affecting fluid regulation
Many South African patients have discovered valuable insights about their health through this simple, non-invasive test.
Why Understanding Your Sodium Balance Matters
Early detection of sodium imbalances can help prevent serious health complications. By understanding how your body processes sodium, you and your healthcare provider can:
- Optimise blood pressure management strategies
- Identify potential kidney function issues early
- Make informed decisions about dietary sodium intake
- Monitor the effectiveness of current medications
- Prevent complications from fluid retention
- Gain peace of mind about your cardiovascular health
Knowledge is power when it comes to managing chronic conditions common in South Africa.
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
Your results will show the total amount of sodium excreted over 24 hours, providing valuable information about your kidney’s ability to regulate this essential mineral. Our healthcare professionals will help you understand what your results mean in the context of your overall health.
Normal results typically indicate healthy kidney function and proper sodium regulation. Abnormal results might suggest the need for dietary adjustments, medication review, or further investigation into kidney or adrenal function. Remember, your results are just one piece of your health puzzle and will be interpreted by qualified medical professionals.
