What Is the Normal Range for Urea in the Blood, and What Does It Mean If It's High or Low? - #15674
I recently got my blood test results back, and my doctor mentioned that my urea levels were slightly outside the normal range. I didn’t even know what urea was before this, so now I’m trying to understand what it means for my health. From what I’ve read, urea is a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein, and it’s eliminated through the kidneys. But what exactly is the urea normal range, and what does it mean if my levels are too high or too low? I saw that high urea levels could indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or excessive protein intake. But does a slightly elevated result mean I have kidney problems, or could it be due to something temporary like diet or exercise? On the other hand, if urea is too low, does that mean my body isn’t metabolizing protein properly? Since I prefer natural approaches, I started looking into Ayurveda’s view on kidney function and detoxification. Are there Ayurvedic treatments or dietary changes that can help maintain urea levels in a healthy range? I found that Punarnava, Gokshura, and Triphala are often used for kidney health—do these actually help regulate urea? For those who have had abnormal urea levels, what was the cause in your case? Did you need medical treatment, or were you able to bring it back to normal with lifestyle changes? I’d love to understand more about how to manage and maintain balanced urea levels naturally.
