What is a PHOSPHORUS URINE?

Phosphorus Urine test is a laboratory examination that measures the amount of phosphorus excreted in urine. Phosphorus is an essential mineral involved in bone health, energy production, and cellular function. Healthcare professionals recommend this test to evaluate kidney function, detect metabolic disorders, and monitor conditions such as osteoporosis or abnormal calcium-phosphorus balance. By analyzing urinary phosphorus levels, clinicians can identify underlying health issues and guide appropriate treatment or dietary adjustments for maintaining proper mineral balance in the body.
