Clinical significance of low urea nitrogen

Low urea nitrogen can be seen in low nitrogen intake, low nitrogen absorption, high nitrogen excretion, severe chronic wasting disease and liver disease.
1. Low nitrogen intake: the only source of nitrogen in the human body is protein, when protein intake is insufficient, malnutrition, the body intake of nitrogen is low, and there will be low urea nitrogen.
2. Less nitrogen absorption: when the function of spleen and stomach is poor, the nitrogen absorption will be less, and the corresponding urea nitrogen will be low.
3. More nitrogen excretion: for example, in the early stage of diabetes, when drinking more water, the urine increases, and low urea nitrogen can occur.
4. When suffering from severe chronic wasting disease: protein consumption will increase, urea nitrogen will be low, such as tuberculosis.
5. When suffering from liver disease: such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc., the production of urea in the liver will be reduced, so the urea nitrogen will be low.
If you have low urea nitrogen, you should consult a regular hospital in time to find out the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions, so as not to delay your condition.
