Remark<\/strong><\/td>

  • Urea is the main end product of protein metabolism in mammals. It is formed in the liver from ammonia and filtered through the glomeruli of the kidneys.<\/li>
  • Serum concentration depends on both kidney function and extrarenal factors (e.g. feeding, protein intake, protein turnover).<\/li>
  • When assessing renal function, urea concentrations should always be interpreted together with creatinine and SDMA.<\/li>
  • Cattle<\/strong>:The urea concentration in serum or milk serves as an indicator of energy and protein supply. Low concentrations indicate a deficiency in crude protein, while elevated concentrations indicate excess protein or energy deficiency.<\/li>
  • Horses<\/strong> and small animals<\/strong>: In addition to creatinine, urea is a key parameter for assessing renal function and particularly indicates disturbances in water and nitrogen balance.<\/li>
  • Urea is the most important renal parameter in aquatic and sea turtles<\/strong> and other aquatic reptile species, amphibians and fish.<\/strong><\/li><\/ul><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
