What is URINARY UREA?

This test measures the amount of urea in your urine, which is a waste product formed when protein is broken down in the body. It helps evaluate kidney function and how efficiently your body is removing waste.

Why is this test important?

Urinary urea levels are often used alongside blood urea tests to assess kidney health, especially in cases of kidney disease or dehydration. It can also help monitor protein intake and the effectiveness of certain treatments.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to collect a urine sample over a 24-hour period. Follow specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
