Service Providers for Spot Urine for Urea
Spot Urine for Urea measures the concentration of urea nitrogen in a single urine sample. Urea is a waste product formed in the liver from the breakdown of protein and is excreted by the kidneys. This test is often used to assess kidney function, hydration status, and protein metabolism. It can also be used to evaluate the urea-to-creatinine ratio, which helps in diagnosing conditions like kidney disease, dehydration, or proteinuria. Results are typically reported in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) or millimoles per liter (mmol/L). Abnormal levels may indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or excessive protein intake.
