Urea

Kidney Function

Urea is a waste product generated during the breakdown of proteins in your body. The urea test is commonly employed to assess kidney function.

Healthy kidneys efficiently filter out urea and other waste products from the bloodstream, which are subsequently eliminated through urine. However, impaired kidney function can lead to the accumulation of urea in the blood.

By quantifying the level of urea in your blood, healthcare providers can evaluate kidney function. This test aids in the diagnosis of kidney problems such as kidney disease or damage. Additionally, it assists in monitoring the progression of kidney disease and evaluating the effectiveness of treatment.
