Test Details:
The Chromium 24-hour urine test is a medical test that measures the level of chromium in a person’s urine over a 24-hour period. Chromium is a trace mineral that is important for the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also involved in maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
The test is usually ordered to assess chromium levels in individuals who may have been exposed to high levels of chromium in their occupation or environment. It can also be used to evaluate chromium supplementation in individuals with diabetes or other metabolic disorders.
During the test, the person is required to collect all urine produced over a 24-hour period in a special container provided by the laboratory. The urine sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The normal range for chromium in urine varies depending on the laboratory, but generally, levels between 20-200 micrograms per 24 hours are considered normal. Abnormal results may indicate chromium deficiency or excess, which can have implications for overall health and metabolism.
It is important to follow any specific instructions given by the healthcare provider or laboratory when preparing for the test, as certain medications or dietary factors may affect the results.
