About test
What does Urea - (24 hrs Urine) measure?
This test measures the amount of urea excreted in urine over a full day. Urea is a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein and is removed mainly by the kidneys. The test may help assess protein breakdown, dietary protein balance, kidney handling of urea, or nutritional status in selected clinical situations. Results are interpreted along with medical history and other laboratory findings.
