High urea is almost always an indicator of problems related to the kidneys. This can arise from malfunction, hyper-loading of waste products (ultra-high protein diet for instance), or other causes.

NH4 is most toxic, in fact in mammals it is always transported in the form of glutamate, because it is so toxic. So if this is in reference to humans, that is the most likely answer. NH3 on the other hand is non toxic unless present in high concentrations for whatever reason (such as problems with excretion when it is converted to Urea

Why is the concentration of urea strong in urine?

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.

Why the color of urea is yellow?

Urea can turn yellow due to the degradation of urea into ammonia and biuret under certain conditions, such as exposure to high temperatures or alkaline environments. This process can result in the formation of colored compounds, which can give the urea a yellow hue.


What are the urea cycle disorders?

Urea is a by-product of purine degradation, normally cleared by the kidneys and excreted in the urine. The urea concentration gets high enough that urea crystallizes and deposits at joints. Since high protein food is often rich in nucleic acids it is thought (but not proven) that a reduction in protein intake will make the gout go away...


Why concentration of urea increased in PCT?

Urea is reabsorbed in the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) of the nephron through both paracellular and transcellular pathways. The high water permeability and abundant transporters in the PCT facilitate the reabsorption of urea. If there is an increase in urea concentration in the filtrate, more urea will be reabsorbed passively and actively in the PCT to maintain urea balance in the body.

Is uric acid more toxic than urea?

Uric acid is generally less toxic than urea. Uric acid is more soluble in water and can be excreted as a solid, while urea is more toxic in high concentrations and must be diluted in water for excretion. Additionally, high levels of uric acid can lead to conditions like gout, whereas high levels of urea can contribute to kidney dysfunction.
