The 24-hour urine urea nitrogen test is primarily used to assess nitrogen balance in the body, which helps in evaluating the body's protein metabolism and how well the kidneys are functioning in terms of processing waste products. However, its direct purpose is to assess nitrogen balance, not kidney function, fluid status, or blood volume directly.
