24 Hour Urinary Chloride

The 24-hour urinary chloride test is a urine specimen test that measures the amount of chloride in your urine over a 24-hour period. Chloride is an important electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance and acid-base balance in your body. This test is often ordered to help diagnose or monitor conditions such as:

• Kidney disease
• Adrenal gland disorders
• Diarrhoea
• Vomiting
• Hyperaldosteronism
• Cystic fibrosis

The test is performed by collecting all of your urine for 24 hours in a special container. You will be given a collection container and instructions on how to collect your urine when you schedule your test. Once you have collected your urine, you will return the container to the laboratory. The laboratory will then analyse your urine for chloride levels.

Normal chloride levels in the urine range from 110 to 250 milliequivalents per day (mEq/day). Higher or lower levels of chloride in the urine can be a sign of a medical condition. Your doctor will interpret your test results and discuss any necessary follow-up care with you.
