Description
Urea is a waste product formed in the liver from the breakdown of protein. This test is primarily used to:
- Assess kidney function: It helps determine how effectively your kidneys are removing urea from your body.
- Evaluate protein intake and metabolism: It can provide insights into your dietary protein intake and how your body is processing proteins.
- Monitor hydration status: Urine urea concentration can be affected by hydration levels.
This test can be useful in diagnosing and monitoring kidney diseases, assessing nutritional status, and sometimes in evaluating individuals with conditions affecting protein metabolism.
