₹450

The Calcium / Creatinine Ratio, Random Urine test measures the ratio of calcium to creatinine in a random urine sample. This ratio is used to assess the rate of calcium excretion and helps identify hypercalciuria (excess calcium in urine), a common risk factor for kidney stones and certain metabolic disorders. Because creatinine excretion remains relatively constant in healthy individuals, comparing calcium with creatinine provides a reliable assessment of urinary calcium loss without requiring a 24-hour urine collection.

The Calcium / Creatinine Ratio test is recommended for individuals with recurrent kidney stones, unexplained high urinary calcium levels, bone disorders, parathyroid disease, or suspected calcium metabolism abnormalities. It is also useful in evaluating children and adults with recurrent urinary symptoms or metabolic bone diseases. At Nidan Pathology Lab, we provide NABL-accredited testing, FREE home sample collection, advanced laboratory technology, and accurate, timely reports to support the diagnosis and management of kidney, bone, and metabolic disorders.

Calcium / Creatinine Ratio , Random Urine (L) Test-

What is the Calcium / Creatinine Ratio, Random Urine test?

The Calcium / Creatinine Ratio, Random Urine test measures the ratio of calcium to creatinine in a random urine sample to assess calcium excretion and evaluate calcium metabolism.

Why is the Calcium / Creatinine Ratio test performed?

The test is performed to detect hypercalciuria (high urinary calcium excretion), evaluate the risk of kidney stones, and investigate disorders affecting calcium metabolism.

Who should undergo the Calcium / Creatinine Ratio test?

The test is recommended for individuals with recurrent kidney stones, bone disorders, parathyroid disease, unexplained high urinary calcium levels, or suspected calcium metabolism abnormalities, as advised by a healthcare provider.

Is fasting required before the Calcium / Creatinine Ratio test?

No. Fasting is generally not required unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider or laboratory.

What does a high Calcium / Creatinine Ratio indicate?

A high ratio may indicate hypercalciuria, which can increase the risk of kidney stones and may be associated with hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D excess, or other metabolic disorders. Results should be interpreted together with other laboratory findings.

Why is the Calcium / Creatinine Ratio test important?

The test helps assess calcium excretion, identify kidney stone risk, diagnose calcium metabolism disorders, and guide treatment and long-term monitoring of bone and kidney health.

Introduction:

This ratio is used to express rate of calcium excretion. In healthy individuals with constant muscle mass, increase in the ratio suggests hypercalciuria.

The Calcium / Creatinine Ratio, Random Urine test measures the ratio of calcium to creatinine in a random urine sample. It is used to evaluate urinary calcium excretion and helps identify hypercalciuria (excess calcium in urine), a common cause of kidney stones and calcium metabolism disorders. This test provides a convenient alternative to a 24-hour urine calcium test.

Purpose of the Test:

Assess calcium excretion in the urine.
Detect hypercalciuria (high urinary calcium levels).
Evaluate the risk of kidney stone formation.
Help diagnose calcium metabolism and parathyroid disorders.
Monitor patients with recurrent kidney stones or metabolic bone diseases.

Symptoms:

Normal Range:

Adults: Generally less than 0.20 mg/mg (Calcium/Creatinine Ratio).
Children: Reference ranges vary according to age and are typically higher in infants.
Results should always be interpreted according to the laboratory's reference range and in conjunction with clinical findings and other calcium metabolism tests.

Specification:

10 mL (5 mL min.) aliquot of random urine in 2 mL of 6N HCl to maintain pH below 3.
