What are the causes of raised urea level? - #20868
James Kwabo Sekyi
What are the causes of raised urea level in the blood? I have had 3 lab tests for renal function test and the first results for urea was 2. 15 umol/l and the second was 1.81 umol/l but the last one shows 36mg/l. Please, my creatinine levels for the 3 tests are 87mmol/l, 86.7mmol/l and 79.5mmol/l. My EGFR is 113. Please, what has caused the urea level to go high?

Raised urea levels, often referred to as hyperuremia, can originate from various factors. Within Ayurveda, we would view this through the lens of dosha imbalance, with likely involvement of Vata and Pitta doshas due to their roles in regulating fluid balance and metabolism.
Furthermore, elevated levels of urea in the blood can arise from a collection of both physiological and pathological factors. Dehydration is a common cause — when the body is deprived of adequate fluids, the kidneys concentrate urea more, resulting in increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Ensure proper hydration by drinking warm water and herbal teas in healing amounts as per your body's need.
Also, it might be related to diet, especialy if you're consuming high amounts of protein. The body breaks down protein into urea, which then needs to be processed by the kidneys. Incorporating a balanced diet, emphasizing light and fresh meals that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains appropriate to your prakriti (body constitution) can help maintain balance.
From a medical perspective, kidney function should always be monitored, since the kidneys are responsible for filtering urea and other waste products from the blood. While your creatinine and eGFR levels seem relatively stable, always consider cross-referencing with a healthcare provider for detailed insights, particularly if any symptoms appear.
Liver function also plays a role, because liver converts ammonia into urea. Ensuring good liver health through Ayurvedic practices like consuming lightly cooked or raw vegetables and even taking liver-supportive herbs like Punarnava can be beneficial.
If stress and lifestyle patterns disrupt Agni (digestive fire), it may lead to incomplete digestion creating metabolic waste, termed as Ama. Relaxation techniques like yoga or meditation and regular exercise can contribute to bodily and mental balance, optimizing assimilation and excretion.
Lastly, should there be a suspicion of more serious underlying disorders or persistent high readings, it's crucial not to delay in seeking conventional medical evaluation, since Ayurveda complements but does not replace emergency medical care in the event of potential renal issues.
