Description
The serum urea test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. Urea is a waste product formed in the liver when protein is metabolized. It is then filtered out of the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine. The serum urea test is used to evaluate kidney function. Elevated levels of urea in the blood can indicate impaired kidney function or other medical conditions affecting the kidneys.
