1.Urea is the main waste product from the body’s intake of protein.
2.Creatinine is a waste product from muscle.
3. Creatinine and urea are carried in the bloodstream to the kidneys to be removed.
4.High concentrations of creatinine or urea in the blood usually mean a reduced rate of filtration of urea or creatinine from the blood into the urine.
5. It is important to note that urea and creatinine are not ‘poisons’ – they are simply convenient markers of the degree of abnormality of kidney function.
