Increased levels may be due to increased salt intake, failure of the adrenal glands, diabetic acidosis, salt losing renal disease and water deficient dehydration. Decreased levels are seen in congestive heart failure, excessive sweating, diarrhea, pyloric obstruction, malabsorption and primary aldosteronism. Phosphate is made of the mineral phosphorous. They help control the amount of fluid and the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) in your body. Electrolytes are electrically charged minerals. There is a diurnal variation of sodium excretion with excretion being greater during daytime than during the night. A phosphate in urine test measures the amount of phosphate in a urine (pee) sample that you collect over a 24-hour period. Methodology: Ion Selective Electrode (ISE)Ĭlinical Significance: The excretion of sodium varies with dietary intake. Transport: Store urine at 2-8☌ after collection and ship the same day per packaging instructions included with the provided shipping box.Ĭauses for Rejection: Specimens other than urine without preservatives improper labeling samples not stored properly samples older than stability limits Label sample according to standard protocols.Transfer urine from a clean urine cup into a Yellow Top tube using the vacutainer transfer device included with the Yellow Top tube.Collect and label urine sample according to standard protocols.If your body tissues become too alkaline, you may get metabolic alkalosis. But certain conditions can cause an imbalance. Your body tries to keep its acid-base (pH) level in balance. Container: Urine (Yellow top, no preservative) tube Chloride (Urine) Does this test have other names Urine chloride What is this test This test measures the amount of chloride in your urine.
