What is the Calcium/Creatinine Ratio Urine Test?

The Calcium/Creatinine Ratio Urine Test measures the amount of calcium excreted relative to creatinine in a single urine sample. It is commonly used as a convenient screening test for hypercalciuria (high urinary calcium), kidney stone risk, and disorders affecting calcium metabolism, especially in children and adults.

Who should take this test?

  • Individuals with recurrent kidney stones.
  • Patients suspected of having hypercalciuria.
  • People with abnormal blood calcium levels.
  • Patients with parathyroid disorders.
  • Children being evaluated for excessive calcium excretion.
  • Doctor-advised monitoring of kidney and calcium metabolism disorders.

Preparation & Test Process

Sample Type
A spot urine sample is collected in a sterile container.
Fasting
Fasting is generally not required unless instructed by your doctor.
Purpose
Screens for excessive urinary calcium loss and helps assess kidney stone risk.
Important Note
Inform your doctor about calcium supplements, vitamin D, or medications that may affect calcium excretion.

Understanding Your Results

The test reports the calcium-to-creatinine ratio in urine.

High ratio may indicate hypercalciuria, hyperparathyroidism, vitamin D excess, or an increased risk of kidney stones.

Low ratio may occur with low calcium intake, vitamin D deficiency, or certain kidney disorders.

Results should be interpreted together with blood calcium, serum creatinine, parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D levels, and your medical history.
