Urea

Urea is the main metabolite resulting from protein catabolism. Biosynthesis of nitrogenous compounds is done by liver enzymes. More than 90% of urea is excreted through the kidneys and the rest through the intestines and skin. The concentration of blood urea can increase for several reasons: prerenal (increased protein breakdown, gastrointestinal bleeding, shock in some chronic liver diseases) and renal/postrenal (chronic and acute kidney diseases, obstruction that prevents urine flow). Also, the amount of blood urea increases due to high protein in the diet, loss of body water, muscle wasting due to malnutrition. Prerenal (normal creatinine) and Renal/Postrenal (creatinine increase) injuries are distinguished from each other by measuring blood urea and creatinine together.
