What is Serum Urea ?
The Serum Urea test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in a patient’s blood, a waste product formed in the liver when protein is metabolized. This test is essential for evaluating kidney function, as urea is normally filtered out by the kidneys. Abnormal levels can signal kidney dysfunction or other metabolic conditions. Clinicians may order a Serum Urea test to: Evaluate kidney function, especially in patients with suspected or known kidney disease. Monitor patients with chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension that can impact kidney health. Assess protein metabolism, as urea levels can provide insights into liver and overall metabolic health.
