Serum Urea level 2.5 -7.8 mmol/L
The concentration of urea is high in urine because urea is a waste product produced by the liver when it breaks down proteins. The kidneys then filter urea from the blood and excrete it in urine to maintain the body's nitrogen balance.

During reabsoption most of the water exits the nephron and enters the interstitial fluid. This increases the concentration of ions such as potassium in the nephron. In the collecting duct (at the very end) very little water is left and the concentration of potassium, sodium, etc ions rises (including urea). This is why urine is acidic.
Urea and Water.
Urea concentration is higher in urine than in the filtrate because the kidneys reabsorb water and certain solutes during the filtration process. As the filtrate passes through the renal tubules, water is reabsorbed, concentrating the remaining solutes, including urea. Additionally, urea is actively secreted from the blood into the tubular fluid, further increasing its concentration in the final urine. This process helps regulate nitrogen waste excretion while conserving water.
No, urea is a normal constituent of urine and is produced as a result of protein breakdown in the body. It is excreted by the kidneys as a way to eliminate waste products from the body.
The normal glucose concentration in urine ranges from 0 to 15 mg/dL. The glucose concentration in urine becomes zero when no glucose has spilled over into the urine.
Urea is a byproduct of urine. All animals produce urea in their urine, not just cows.
Healthy urine consists of 95 % water,ammonia , potassium, hydrogen, sodium, uric acid and urea and bilirubin,
Urine contains urea, which can indeed be used to neutralize nitric acid during gold refining. However, it is not a recommended method due to impurities and variability in urea concentration in urine, which can affect the refining process. It is safer and more reliable to use commercially available pure urea for this purpose.
