Urea

Urea

The determination of urea is the most widely used test for the evaluation of kidney function. The test is frequently used in conjunction with the determination of creatinine for the differential diagnosis of prerenal hyperuremia (cardiac decompensation, water depletion, increased protein catabolism), renal hyperuremia (glomerulonephritis, chronic nephritis. polycystic kidney, nephrosclerosis, tubular necrosis) and postrenal hyperuremia (obstructions of the urinary tract).

Fortress Diagnostics manufactures Urea reagents designed for Hitachi 917, Olympus AU 600/400/2700 and CA 180/270/400/2700 Furuno/Daytona system reagents.
