LIQUIXX Urea (4 x 24 / 4 x 6 ml)

Urea

Urea is the major end product of protein metabolism in humans. It is produced primarily in the liver and transported through the bloodstream to the kidneys, where it is filtered and excreted in urine. Urea measurement is an important laboratory test for assessing kidney function and metabolic status.

Clinical Significance

• Helps evaluate renal function and the body's ability to eliminate nitrogenous waste.

• Elevated urea levels may be associated with impaired kidney function.

• Increased levels can also occur in certain liver diseases, diabetes, and infectious conditions.

• Urea results are generally interpreted along with creatinine and other renal function tests for a more complete assessment.
