Oxalic Acid Random Urine Test
The Oxalic Acid Random Urine Test measures urinary oxalate levels to evaluate risk of kidney stone formation and metabolic disorders. Elevated oxalate may result from dietary factors, intestinal malabsorption, or primary hyperoxaluria, while low levels may reflect dietary deficiency or altered metabolism. This test supports assessment of urinary chemistry, renal health, and metabolic balance in stone disease evaluation.
