About this test
Urea – Serum test measures the level of urea in the blood to assess kidney function and evaluate how effectively the body is removing waste products.

The Urea – Serum test is used to determine the amount of urea present in the blood. Urea is a waste product formed in the liver as a result of protein metabolism and is excreted from the body by the kidneys. Measuring serum urea levels provides important information about kidney function and the body’s ability to eliminate waste.

Abnormal urea levels may indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, liver disease, or increased protein breakdown in the body. Elevated levels are commonly associated with impaired kidney function or reduced blood flow to the kidneys, while lower levels may be seen in certain liver conditions or malnutrition.

Test Recommended For

  • Individuals with suspected kidney disease
  • Patients with abnormal kidney function tests
  • Individuals experiencing dehydration
  • Patients with symptoms like fatigue, swelling, or reduced urine output
  • Routine health check-ups
  • Monitoring ongoing kidney conditions
