Urea Blood Test

$35.00 AUD

Concerned about kidney health, experiencing changes in urination or swelling, and want assessment of kidney function and protein metabolism for optimal health?

The Urea Blood Test checks how much urea, a waste product made when the body breaks down protein, is in your blood. High or low levels can point to kidney problems, dehydration, or liver issues, and the test is often used alongside other markers to assess overall kidney and metabolic function.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"

Overview

Think of urea as your body's leftover waste after it breaks down the proteins from your meals—kind of like the crumbs left behind after making a sandwich. Your liver creates this waste product, and your kidneys act like a sophisticated filtration system, cleaning it out of your blood and sending it away through your urine. The Urea test measures how much of this waste is floating around in your bloodstream, giving us a clear picture of whether your kidneys are doing their cleanup job effectively and how well your body is processing the proteins you eat.

When your urea levels are higher than normal, it's often a sign that your kidneys might be struggling to filter properly, you're dehydrated, or your body is breaking down more protein than usual. Lower levels might point to liver issues or nutritional concerns. This simple blood test is particularly valuable if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney problems, as these conditions can quietly affect your kidney function over time. By catching changes early, you and your healthcare provider can take steps to protect your kidney health and ensure your body's waste management system keeps running smoothly.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with kidney symptoms, diabetes, high blood pressure, or anyone needing comprehensive kidney function and metabolic assessment.

Questions

  • Urea is a waste product from protein metabolism that's normally filtered by the kidneys; elevated levels can indicate kidney dysfunction or increased protein breakdown.
  • High urea may indicate kidney disease, dehydration, high protein intake, increased protein breakdown, or certain medications affecting kidney function.
  • Low urea may suggest liver disease, malnutrition, low protein intake, overhydration, or pregnancy, requiring further evaluation to determine the cause.
  • Both assess kidney function, but urea can be affected by diet, hydration, and protein metabolism, while creatinine is more specific to kidney function.
  • Factors include protein intake, hydration status, kidney function, liver function, certain medications, and conditions affecting protein metabolism.
  • Maintain good kidney health through proper hydration, balanced protein intake, blood pressure control, diabetes management, and regular medical monitoring.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of all medications, recent protein intake, and hydration status that might affect urea levels.

After the test

Address abnormal urea through comprehensive kidney evaluation, appropriate treatments for kidney disease, dietary modifications, hydration management, and regular monitoring. Work with nephrologists if needed.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show urea levels compared to normal ranges. Elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or increased protein breakdown requiring further evaluation and appropriate treatment.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.
