About This Test
The Urea Blood Test measures the amount of urea present in the blood.
Urea is the major end product of protein and amino acid metabolism, formed in the liver by the urea (ornithine) cycle from ammonia produced during protein breakdown.
It is excreted mainly by the kidneys, and therefore, the blood urea concentration reflects the balance between urea production (hepatic function) and urea excretion (renal function).
This test is commonly used as part of a Renal Function Test (RFT) or Kidney Profile to assess renal function, protein metabolism, and hydration status.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
