Hello James, Low urea can be due to high water intake, liver issues, or malnutrition. Low chloride may result from fluid loss (vomiting, diarrhea), adrenal issues, or excessive water intake. Have you experienced fatigue, muscle weakness, nausea, or swelling? Have you had any recent illnesses, medication changes, or dietary shifts? Have liver function tests (LFT) and electrolytes been checked previously? Understanding these aspects will help in determining if further evaluation or dietary adjustments are needed.

Okay, when we're looking at your urea and creatinine levels, these are two markers that help us understand how well your kidneys are functioning. Your urea level of 1.81 mmol/L seems a bit on the low side. Normally, urea levels are higher, so it could indicate that maybe your liver isn't processing proteins as it should, or you might have low protein intake. But, honestly, that's not always a bad thing, just something to be aware of!
Now, your chloride level's kinda low too at 89.3. It should usually be somewhere between 98-106 mmol/L. Low chloride might occur if you've been vomiting a lot, dehydrated or have certain conditions affecting your acid-base balance. It could also be about your diet or even medications.
Creatinine at 99 looks fine (usually between 60-110 umol/L is considered normal), so your kidney function's pretty much in the safe range. Potassium at 3.7 isn't too concerning either, though it's on the lower end of normal (3.5 - 5.0 mmol/L).
For Ayurveda's take on this, you might wanna look into balancing your doshas through diet and lifestyle. Like, try to incorporate warm, cooked and grounding foods — maybe think about adding more grains and proteins if your diet's lacking. Drink enough water but not too much, dehydration could affect these levels! Also, be mindful of stress, which can really mess with your body's balance.
If you wanna bring your chloride levels up, consider sea salt in moderation, and add foods like tomatoes, lettuce and olives if they're not there already.
I’d recommend follow-ups with your healthcare provider too, just to track everything holistically. And if there's any acute symptoms like fatigue or muscle weakness, let them know! They can assess if there's anything immediate to address. But according to Ayurveda, holistic care, balancing the doshas and watchdogging your general health will help keep everything in check!
