About the Calcium, Urine Test
A calcium urine test measures how much calcium is being excreted in the urine. It is often used with a blood calcium level to help evaluate calcium balance and to investigate conditions affecting the parathyroid glands, kidneys, or bones. The test may be ordered when a provider wants to know whether the kidneys are losing too much calcium, or to monitor a person with a history of kidney stones. Because urine calcium reflects output over a period, it is usually collected over a defined time. Results are interpreted with blood calcium and other findings.

Understanding your results
Urine calcium helps show whether the kidneys are excreting more or less calcium than expected. High urine calcium may be associated with kidney stone formation or other conditions, while low output may reflect low intake, absorption, or other factors. Results are interpreted with blood calcium, vitamin D, and parathyroid tests. Discuss them with a healthcare provider.
