About test
What does Urea - Spot Urine measure?
This test measures the amount of urea in urine. Urea is a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein and is removed mainly through the kidneys. A healthcare professional may use this test to help assess protein metabolism, kidney handling of urea, hydration status, or nitrogen balance. Results are interpreted together with medical history, symptoms, diet, and other laboratory tests.
