3.7.2.1.5 Urea test PRINCIPLE Urea is hydrolyzed in the presence of urease to produce ammonia and CO2. The ammonia produced combines with 2 – oxoglutarate and NADH in the presence of GLDH to yield glutamate and NAD. Urea + H2O + 2H+ 2NH4+ + CO2 NH4+ + 2-Oxoglutarate +NADH H2O +NAD+ + Glutamate The decrease in absorbance due to the decrease of NADH concentration in unit time is proportional to the urea concentration.
