Description

The "Spot Urine for Urea" test is a diagnostic procedure that measures the concentration of urea in a person's urine at a specific moment in time. Urea is a waste product formed in the liver when the body breaks down proteins, and its concentration in urine can indicate kidney function. This test helps in assessing renal health and diagnosing conditions such as kidney disease or dehydration. A urine sample collected at any random time of the day is used for this test.
