Urine zinc (Zn)

The urine zinc test is a urine ion test. Determination of urinary zinc can help diagnose kidney system diseases. The daily requirement for zinc in the human body is 0.2 mmol, and 10 to 15 mg is taken from food every day, and most of it is not absorbed and excreted with feces. Plant foods are rich in phytic acid and cellulose, which easily form insoluble chelate with zinc and affect the absorption of zinc. Animal food is usually the main source of human zinc. Therefore, the dietary structure of high-grain, low-animal foods is one of the important causes of zinc deficiency.
