About test
What does Urea Pre Dialysis measure?
This test measures urea levels before a dialysis session. Urea is a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein and is normally removed by the kidneys. In people receiving dialysis, the result may help healthcare professionals assess the amount of urea present before treatment and support evaluation of dialysis adequacy when considered with post-dialysis measurements and other clinical information.
