It is known as a 24-hour urine sample test. You will get a container to collect your urine and instructions on collecting and keeping your samples.
Calcium Creatinine Ratio - Urine-Spot
The urine calcium (mg/dL): urine creatinine (mg/dL) ratio has a typical reference interval of 0.14. Patients with hypercalciuria have values more than 0.20.
