Unlike 24hr urine, spot urine testing for electrolytes traditionally has not been assigned any reference limits as it fluctuates significantly with the variable amount of dietary intake, degree of urine concentration/dilution, corresponding plasma concentrations and related endocrine and kidney functions. The implication of electrolyte concentrations and use of appropriate cut points very much depends on the specific pre-test clinical questions and context.
