What are the normal components of urine?


Healing hearts, one patient at a time.
Urine normally contains water, inorganic salts, urea, uric acid, creatinine, creatine, etc.
1. Water
Urine contains about 95% of water, which is the main component of urine. It usually comes from blood. After filtration and concentration by the kidneys, urine is excreted.
2. Inorganic salts
Urine contains a variety of inorganic salts, such as sodium, potassium, chlorine, calcium, phosphorus, etc., which play an important role in maintaining electrolyte balance and acid-base balance in the body.
3. Urea and uric acid
When protein is decomposed in the body, amino acids are produced, which are converted into urea and uric acid. These substances are excreted with urine to help maintain nitrogen balance in the body.
4. Creatine and creatine are
produced when muscle activity occurs. These substances are also excreted with urine, reflecting muscle activity and metabolism.
