Oxalic Acid 24 Hour Urine Test

The Oxalic Acid 24 Hour Urine Test measures urinary oxalate excretion to evaluate risk for kidney stone formation and metabolic disorders. Elevated oxalic acid may indicate primary or secondary hyperoxaluria, malabsorption syndromes, or dietary imbalance. By tracking oxalate output over 24 hours, this test provides valuable insight into urinary health, metabolic function, and conditions that impact calcium oxalate stone development.
