Subject: Urine urea
In fear of being shot down for showing my ignorance, could I please ask the collective brain what the clinical relevance of urine urea measurement is?
I note that for the last UKNEQAS Urine Chemistry distribution (number 66), 260 labs returned results for this analyte.
Thanks,
Sally
