Urea (u-re'-ah ) [ovpov, urine], CO(NH 2 ) 2 . The chief 

 solid constituent of urine, and principal nitrogenous 

 end-product of tissue-metamorphosis ; a carbamid,

 U.,Test for, concentrate urine to syrupy consistence by 

 evaporation, and add nitric acid. The nitrate of urea 

 will form a crystalline precipitate of rhombic plates. 

 The quantity may be accurately estimated by fowler's
