Urea is a non-protein nitrogen compound found in blood.
Derived after protein metabolism, it is formed in the liver and is helpful in removing excess nitrogen from the human body.
Urea estimation or measuring the content of urea in a body is helpful in determining nitrogen and protein balance, hydration status and renal function of a body.
It is also helpful in diagnosing renal disease in a person.
