Urea and Electrolyte test blood test measures the levels of urea creatinine, and various electrolytes in your blood. This test is often used to evaluate kidney function and to monitor patients with kidney disease.

 

While a urea and electrolyte test is primarily used to evaluate kidney function, it can also provide important information about heart health.

 

Electrolyte imbalances, such as low levels of potassium or magnesium, can affect heart rhythm and increase the risk of arrhythmias.

 

Additionally, kidney disease is a common complication of heart disease, and monitoring kidney function through this test can help manage heart conditions.
