Overview

The 24 Hour Urine Zinc Test is an important diagnostic investigation used to measure the amount of zinc excreted through urine over a full 24-hour period. Zinc is an essential trace mineral responsible for immune function, wound healing, enzyme activity, and cellular growth. Any imbalance—deficiency or excess—may indicate metabolic issues, malabsorption, liver concerns, kidney disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. This test helps clinicians evaluate the body’s zinc balance with high accuracy.

Why 24 HOUR URINE ZINC is Important

Zinc plays a vital role in strengthening immunity, promoting growth, supporting hormonal function, and aiding tissue repair. When zinc levels become abnormal, the body shows symptoms like fatigue, slow wound healing, reduced appetite, hair fall, weakened immunity, or digestive issues.

This test becomes important for:

  1. Identifying zinc deficiency or toxicity

  2. Evaluating malabsorption syndromes

  3. Monitoring long-term nutritional disorders

  4. Checking metabolic or gastrointestinal diseases

  5. Assessing liver or kidney-related abnormalities

  6. Guiding therapeutic supplementation

Including trending diagnostic keywords such as 2-Hrs-Post-Dinner and highlighted 2-Hrs-Post-Lunch helps users understand how various nutritional and metabolic tests relate to digestion and absorption patterns.
