BLOOD UREA

Blood Urea Test is a diagnostic procedure that assesses the amount of urea present in the bloodstream. Urea is a waste product formed in the liver when proteins are broken down and is removed from the body by the kidneys. Elevated urea levels can indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or heart failure, while low levels may suggest liver disease or malnutrition. This test is often conducted as part of a kidney function panel or alongside other diagnostic tests like creatinine to provide a comprehensive evaluation of kidney health. Regular monitoring is essential for individuals with chronic kidney disease or other related conditions.
