What does the Zinc (Urine) test measure?

Q: What is the reference range for Zinc (Urine)?

The standard reference range for Zinc (Urine) is Laboratory-specific; typically 200–800 μg/g creatinine.. Reference ranges vary by laboratory and assay platform — interpret in context of the issuing laboratory's stated range.

Zinc (Urine) (Zn) is a clinical biomarker used in heavy-metals-toxicology assessment. Zinc is an essential trace element, cofactor for hundreds of enzymes, and critical for immune function, wound healing, and protein synthesis. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Zinc (Urine)?

Zinc is an essential trace element, cofactor for hundreds of enzymes, and critical for immune function, wound healing, and protein synthesis. Serum and red-cell zinc are more commonly used to assess status; urinary zinc reflects recent intake and renal handling but is less informative about total-body stores.

Why is Zinc (Urine) measured?

Urinary zinc is sometimes included in multi-element panels but has limited standalone clinical utility. High urinary loss can occur with renal tubular disease or high-dose supplementation; interpretation requires correlation with serum zinc and clinical context.
