Service Providers for Urea
The Urea test measures the amount of urea in the blood, which is a waste product formed after the body breaks down protein. It helps assess kidney function and hydration status. No special preparation is needed, and a blood sample is drawn from a vein. Risks include mild discomfort, bruising, or infection at the puncture site. Elevated urea levels may indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or high protein intake, while low levels may suggest malnutrition or liver disease. Normal activities can be resumed after the test.
