Low urea nitrogen is associated with a recent decrease in protein intake, pregnancy, hepatic dysfunction, and pathologic polyuria.
1. Low protein intake: physiologic low urea nitrogen may occur when the body’s recent intake of protein from food is reduced.
2. Pregnancy: For women during pregnancy, the fetus requires a large amount of protein, and the organism needs more and consumes less, resulting in the phenomenon of low urea nitrogen. Usually, after the end of pregnancy or supplementation of high protein food, urea nitrogen can be restored to normal level.
3. Liver dysfunction: for some liver dysfunction, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, etc., also due to abnormal protein metabolism in the body and the phenomenon of low urea nitrogen.
4. Pathological polyuria: such as acute renal failure polyuria, uremia and other diseases, can lead to increased urine, urea nitrogen is excreted with urine, resulting in low urea nitrogen.
It is recommended that people with low urea nitrogen should go to regular hospitals in time for further detailed examination, so as to clarify the cause of the disease and then take treatment measures in accordance with the doctor’s instructions, and promote the normalization of urea nitrogen level to reduce the impact on the health of the organism.
