The major causes of decreased plasma urea concentration include:

Low protein intake and sever liver disease

Monitoring of _______ in patients on chemotherapy due to leukemia, lymphoma or multiple myeloma is necessary to avoid nephrotoxicity.

Serum uric acid

In the commonly used ("Caraway") colorimetric method for uric acid in serum, interference from other reducing substances such as ascorbic acid is minimized by the addition of:

Sodium carbonate
