24 Hrs Urine Urea
24-hours urine urea test is mainly used to help diagnose protein digestion or absorption from the gut and patient’s protein balance and the amount of protein intake needed in certain cases. Body forms ammonia when proteins are broken down, which is converted into urea by the body. Since urea is a metabolic end product that is excreted by the kidneys, this test measures the amount of urea (amount of protein break down) excreted by the kidneys, and also it reflects the amount of creatinine cleared by the kidneys.
24 HOURS URINE UREA:
Urea is a metabolic end compound that released in the urine. This waste product synthesized during protein break down. Urea test measures the urea level in the urine (24 Hours). This test used to monitor the function of the kidney and screening protein metabolism abnormalities.
CLINICAL INFORMATION :
High levels of urea may also indicate the risk of heart failure, high intake of proteins, excessive protein breaks down, or dehydration. Low levels of urea in urine may suggest malnutrition, kidney disease, etc.
