Detailed explanation-1: -Human urine is composed primarily of water (95%). The rest is urea (2%), creatinine (0.1%), uric acid (0.03%), chloride, sodium, potassium, sulphate, ammonium, phosphate and other ions and molecules in lesser amounts30 (Table 1). Protein is only found in trace amounts compared to their values in blood plasma.
Detailed explanation-2: -Urine is about 95% water. It is not completely sterile of microorganisms, as many sources incorrectly state. But it doesn’t contain any of the harmful microbes that can make you immediately sick-such as those you might ingest from contaminated wilderness water, and which are generally transferred through feces instead.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, urine is composed of approximately 95% water and 5% waste products, metabolites, proteins, inorganic ions (e.g., sodium, potassium) and other organic molecules (urea, uric acid, carbohydrates). It is a more dilute proteome and metabolome than blood.
