Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Urea is the chief nitrogenous constituent of urine, accounting for more than 90% of total nitrogenous waste. Bilirubin is a pigment from the breakdown of red blood cells and is not normally present in urine. Albumin is a protein that is not normally filtered by the kidneys and if present in urine, may indicate kidney damage. Glycosuria is the presence of glucose in urine, which may indicate diabetes or other underlying conditions.
