BLOOD UREA
What does BLOOD UREA measure?
This test measures the amount of urea in the blood, a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein. It may be used to help assess kidney function, hydration status, and how the body is handling protein metabolism. Healthcare professionals may order it alongside other tests when evaluating changes in kidney-related blood markers or monitoring certain medical conditions.
