Carbamide
This test is done to measure urea (carbamide), a waste product produced in the liver from protein breakdown and eliminated by the kidneys. Elevated levels may indicate reduced kidney function, dehydration, or high protein intake, while low levels may be seen in liver disease or malnutrition.
- If kidney function is being evaluated.
- If dehydration or fluid imbalance is suspected.
