Tips and important notes for urea
- Urea is produced when the body breaks down protein and is cleared by the kidneys.
- High urea can reflect kidney impairment, dehydration, high protein intake, or bleeding in the gut.
- Different labs may report either urea or urea nitrogen; they use different conversion factors.
