A UE test refers to a blood test that checks Urea and Electrolytes. It is often ordered in patients who are generally unwell to screen for kidney failure and dehydration.

The test involves checking the blood levels of sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, urea, creatinine and often glucose. The results are only clinical signs and don't provide a definitive diagnosis because each finding can have several different causes. They can, however, point to a possible reason for the unwellness.

How can you find out if you are anemic?

Testing for Anemia is done by checking the hemoglobin level of your blood. If it's low you are anemic (iron deficiency and certain vitamin deficiencies cause the condition.)
