   * Increases in urea nitrogen may be due to increased production or decreased excretion. Urea nitrogen is useful in assessing renal function, especially with serum creatinine.   * Increases in urea nitrogen may be due to increased production or decreased excretion. Urea nitrogen is useful in assessing renal function, especially with serum creatinine.
   * Urea nitrogen clearance and urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio in serum are useful clinically to assess glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and volume depletion. Urea nitrogen is used before, during and after dialysis treatment to quantify an individual’s urea clearance during a single dialysis.   * Urea nitrogen clearance and urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio in serum are useful clinically to assess glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and volume depletion.
