What Is a 24-Hour Urine Test?
A 24-hour urine test is a crucial diagnostic tool for assessing the components in your urine that contribute to stone formation. By collecting urine over a full day, our specialists can measure levels of stone-forming minerals and inhibitors. This provides vital data to understand why you may be forming stones and how to prevent them.
Understanding Metabolic Stone Evaluation
A metabolic stone evaluation goes beyond a single test. It is a comprehensive assessment that analyzes your diet, lifestyle, and lab results to uncover the specific factors increasing your risk. Our experts are dedicated to understanding your unique metabolic profile to provide personalized recommendations for stone prevention.
