What is Zinc, Urine?

Zinc is a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes, including those involved in immune function, wound healing, and thyroid hormone metabolism. Urinary excretion increases with high dietary intake and in hypercatabolic states, but it is not the most sensitive marker of zinc status.

Why is Zinc, Urine measured?

Low urinary zinc can reflect poor intake or redistribution during inflammation, but plasma or red-cell zinc is usually preferred for assessing deficiency. Elevated urinary loss occurs in some genetic disorders and during chelation therapy.
