Urea Nitrogen (Urine 24 HRS) in Kekri

A Urea Test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. It helps evaluate kidney function and can assist in detecting dehydration, kidney disease, liver disorders, or problems related to protein metabolism.

Doctors may recommend a Urea Test if you have symptoms like swelling in the legs, changes in urination, fatigue, muscle cramps, or if you have conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease.

No, fasting is not required for a Urea Test unless your doctor advises additional tests that may need fasting.

The test is performed using a blood sample, collected from a vein in your arm by a trained phlebotomist.

High urea levels indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, urinary tract obstruction, heart-related conditions, or excessive protein breakdown in the body. Your doctor may recommend further evaluation if levels are abnormal.

Low urea levels are less common and may occur in conditions such as severe liver disease, malnutrition, or during pregnancy. They are usually interpreted along with other clinical findings.

Urea Test reports are available within a few hours, depending on the laboratory processing time and location.
