Understanding Blood Urea in Kattupakkam

What is Blood Urea in Kattupakkam?

The Blood Urea test measures the amount of urea in the blood and is available at an affordable price in Kattupakkam with Tata 1mg labs. Urea is a waste product that forms in the liver when the body metabolizes proteins. The blood then transports it to the kidneys, which filter the urea, and excrete it via the urine.

The Blood Urea test is used to assess overall kidney health. It helps diagnose conditions that affect the kidneys and monitor the efficacy of ongoing treatment for any known kidney disease. High levels of urea may suggest kidney dysfunction, whereas low levels may indicate liver disease or malnutrition.

What does Blood Urea measure?

The Blood Urea test measures the level of urea in the blood. Urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism. Proteins you consume in your diet are digested and converted into amino acids, which are then utilized by the body. This metabolic process produces a toxic byproduct known as ammonia. Ammonia is then rapidly converted into urea by your liver. Urea is comparatively less toxic than ammonia and is transported to the kidneys via the blood. The kidneys then filter it out through the urine. This process continues and the body keeps producing and eliminating urea, maintaining its low and steady levels in the blood.
