Urea & Electrolytes Profile
The Urea and Electrolytes test is a blood test that measures the levels of urea and various electrolytes in your body. Urea is a waste product produced by the liver when it breaks down proteins, and it is eliminated through the kidneys. Electrolytes, on the other hand, are minerals that help maintain the balance of fluids in your body and are essential for proper functioning of your muscles, nerves, and organs. This test is commonly ordered to assess kidney function and to monitor the levels of electrolytes in your body. It can help detect any imbalances or abnormalities that may

The Urea and Electrolytes test is a blood test that measures the levels of urea and various electrolytes in your body. Urea is a waste product produced by the liver when it breaks down proteins, and it is eliminated through the kidneys. Electrolytes, on the other hand, are minerals that help maintain the balance of fluids in your body and are essential for proper functioning of your muscles, nerves, and organs. This test is commonly ordered to assess kidney function and to monitor the levels of electrolytes in your body. It can help detect any imbalances or abnormalities that may indicate kidney problems, dehydration, or certain medical conditions. By measuring the levels of urea and electrolytes, doctors can evaluate how well your kidneys are filtering waste products and maintaining the right balance of minerals in your body. Abnormal results from this test can provide valuable information to your doctor, helping them diagnose and manage conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart problems. It is a routine test that can be done as part of a general health check-up or if you are experiencing symptoms like frequent urination, fatigue, muscle weakness, or swelling.
BIO MARKER
Bicarbonate
Bicarbonate is an electrolyte that helps maintain the pH balance of the blood and supports various physiological functions. Abnormal levels can indicate respiratory or metabolic disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or metabolic acidosis.
Chloride
Chloride is an electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and acid-base balance in the body. Abnormal chloride levels can indicate issues with kidney function, dehydration, or metabolic disorders.
Potassium
Potassium is an electrolyte crucial for maintaining proper cell function, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney dysfunction or metabolic imbalances.
Sodium
Sodium is an electrolyte crucial for fluid balance and nerve function. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or other metabolic imbalances.
Urea
Urea is a waste product formed in the liver from the breakdown of proteins and excreted by the kidneys. Measuring urea levels helps assess kidney function and diagnose conditions like kidney disease or dehydration.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is a measure of kidney function that estimates how well the kidneys are filtering blood. It is used to diagnose and monitor chronic kidney disease.
