Funded by MeitY (Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology) Detection of Urea in Urine :- Our body creates ammonia when it breaks down protein from foods. Ammonia contains nitrogen, which mixes with other elements in your body, including carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen to form urea. Urea is a waste product that is excreted by the kidneys. The urine urea nitrogen test determines how much urea is in the urine to assess the amount of protein breakdown. The test can help determine how well the kidneys are functioning, and if the intake of protein is too high or low. Additionally, it can help diagnose whether the body have a problem with protein digestion or absorption from the gut. This video explains how to detect the presence of urea in the given sample of urine.
