The Blood Urea test is a simple blood test that measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood. Urea nitrogen is a waste product that is formed when the liver breaks down protein. The kidneys then filter the urea nitrogen out of the blood and excrete it in the urine. The Blood Urea test is often used to check kidney function, as the kidneys are responsible for filtering out the urea nitrogen from the blood.

The Blood Urea test is a common test that is often ordered as part of a routine health checkup. It may also be ordered if a person is experiencing symptoms that could be related to kidney problems, such as frequent urination, pain or burning during urination, or swelling in the hands, feet, or face.

The Blood Urea test is a simple and quick test that can be done at any time of the day. It involves drawing a small amount of blood from a vein in the arm. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The test results are usually available within a few days.

The normal range for Blood Urea levels is typically between 7 and 20 mg/dL. However, the normal range may vary slightly depending on the laboratory that performs the test. High levels of Blood Urea may indicate that the kidneys are not functioning properly. This could be due to a number of different conditions, including kidney disease, dehydration, heart failure, or liver disease. Low levels of Blood Urea are generally not a cause for concern, but may be indicative of liver disease or malnutrition.
