Urea, Spot Urine near me in Mumbai

Urea, spot urine is performed to measure the level of urea, a byproduct of protein metabolism, in a sample of urine collected at a random point in time. Urine urea nitrogen is a measure of protein breakdown in the body. Urea is excreted by the kidneys, so the excretion of urea can reflect kidney function.  It may also reflect excessive protein breakdown in the body and if your protein intake is adequate or not. It is a relatively quick and simple test, as it does not require the collection of urine over an extended period, such as in a 24-hour urine test. Doctors may also use this test to determine protein balance in the body and the amount of dietary protein needed by severely ill patients.
