Customer
I had a blood test done by my doctor my b12 at a 130 i have had my first b12 injection to be don monthly. I asked for a copy of my blood test result and it shows serum urea level = 7.1 mmol/L Abnormal. I just feel tired very easily
Serum urea is formed as a byproduct of the metabolism of protein in the body, either ingested protein or due to the destruction of muscle cells. A high serum urea could be due to either increased level of protein being metabolized or due to a decrease in the body's ability to filter it out related to kidney disease. If you do not have kidney disease and they are in fine working order, then it can be attributed to an increased protein load, either from a high protein diet or from muscle destruction. This can be the result of a very strenuous workout or a muscle injury of some sort. A low level can be found in liver disease, overhydration, malnutrition and pregnancy. A 7.1 is only borderline low and considered low normal by some labs. Bot***** *****ne, it should be nothing to worry about. Best of luck.
