Urea levels are measured in the blood to evaluate kidney function. High levels can indicate kidney disease, dehydration, or protein breakdown, while low levels may suggest liver disease or malnutrition. Monitoring urea levels helps in diagnosing and managing these conditions.

How does dehydration cause an increase In urea levels?

Dehydration leads to a decreased volume of water in the body, resulting in concentrated blood plasma and higher levels of solutes, including urea. The kidneys respond to dehydration by conserving water, which inadvertently elevates the concentration of urea in the blood as the kidneys reabsorb water while excreting waste. Consequently, this increased concentration of urea can be measured as elevated urea levels in the bloodstream, indicating potential kidney function issues or dehydration.
