Na, K, creatinine to monitor DASH and renal function and albumin to monitor renal damage from BP and PA.CE Grim MDOn Apr 4, 2012, at 5:23 AM, airlinerg wrote: When you do a 24 Hour Urine test what specifically should be tested besides cortisol, potassium and sodium?

When I turned in my urine to the lab I turned in 1 1/2 gallons. The technician told me that most people only turn in a 1 gallon container. I did request albumin and 24 hour creatinine, 24 hour cortisol, 24 hour sodium and 24 hour potassium.I will let you know the results when I get them.> > > When you do a 24 Hour Urine test what specifically should be tested > > besides cortisol, potassium and sodium?> >> >> >> >> >>
