ABSTRACT
Introduction. The urea is the main catabolite of proteins metabolism, and elevated concentration persistent is a marker of renal failure.
Material and methods. In this work 95 samples of serum and saliva from patients with chronic renal disease was analyzed for evaluate concentration of urea.
Results. The results showed good correlation Alfa = 0.05 in saliva and serum samples respectively. Quantification of urea in saliva is easy and it is possible to adapt for biologycal sensors and the patients can send the information by tele-hemodialysis systems.
