What is BLOOD UREA?

The Blood Urea test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. Urea is a waste product formed in the liver when protein is broken down, and it's normally filtered out by the kidneys.

Why is this test important?

This test is a key indicator of kidney function. Elevated blood urea levels can suggest kidney problems, dehydration, or other conditions affecting kidney filtration. It's often part of a routine kidney function panel.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required, depending on whether other tests are ordered simultaneously. Follow your doctor's instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?▼
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
