Also known as: URINE POTASSIUM

About the Test
This test measures the amount of potassium passing into your urine, which reflects how your kidneys are handling this important electrolyte. While a blood test shows the current level, the urine test shows how much potassium your body is losing or conserving. It is used to investigate abnormal blood potassium, assess kidney handling of electrolytes, and help explain conditions affecting fluid and mineral balance. Interpreted alongside blood results, it gives a fuller picture of potassium regulation.
What is it? A urine test measuring potassium excretion, also called urine potassium, showing how the kidneys handle this electrolyte.
