Test Overview & Methodology
The Oxalate 24-Hour Urine Test quantifies urinary oxalate excretion—a primary driver of calcium oxalate kidney stones. This high-precision assay, performed under DHA standards, aids nephrologists and urologists in diagnosing hyperoxaluria and tailoring preventive treatments. The methodology uses spectrophotometry validated by LC-MS/MS, ensuring a coefficient of variation below 3%.
| Feature | Our Test (Oxalate 24-Hour Urine) | Closest Alternative (Standard Lab) |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Spectrophotometry + LC-MS/MS validation; CV <3% | Basic spectrophotometry; no mass-spec confirmation |
| Methodology | ISO 9001:2015 certified photometric assay with pH-stabilized 24h collection | Unvalidated wet chemistry; inconsistent acidification |
| Speed | Same-day reporting (sample by 9 AM Wed/Sat) | 3–5 working days |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"The Oxalate 24-Hour Urine test serves as a cornerstone in the metabolic evaluation for recurrent stone formers. I always stress that this single measurement must be interpreted alongside dietary history, fluid intake, and renal function. A personalised prevention plan—including dietary oxalate restriction and adequate calcium intake—can significantly reduce stone recurrence when guided by this marker."
— Dr. Ajay Singh | General Practitioner | DHA Registration ID: 36234132

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. Why is the 24-hour urine oxalate test important for kidney stone prevention?
A 24-hour urine oxalate test precisely measures urinary oxalate excretion to identify hyperoxaluria, a key risk factor for recurrent calcium oxalate kidney stones. This quantitative data guides dietary oxalate restriction, calcium intake optimization, and, when necessary, pharmacological therapy.
2. How should I properly collect a 24-hour urine sample at home?
Collect all urine over 24 hours in a refrigerated container with 50% HCl preservative, avoiding vitamin C and citrus fruits for 48 hours. Start by discarding the first-morning void, then collect every drop for the next 24 hours, including the final void the next morning at the same time. Keep the container chilled at 2–8°C throughout.
3. What do my oxalate results mean and when should I consult a specialist?
Urinary oxalate above 45 mg/day indicates hyperoxaluria, necessitating consultation with a nephrologist or urologist for dietary and medical management. Values between 25–45 mg/day warrant close monitoring, while levels below 25 mg/day are generally considered normal. Any result should be reviewed alongside creatinine clearance and stone composition analysis.
