My Liver function test values are within normal except Bilirubin Direct 0.4. I have Benign prostatic hyperplasia and I am taking Tamsulosin (0.4 mg, Dutasteride (0.5 mg) from last 9 months. I go to toilet at least 7-8 times in 24 hours. What could be the cause of elevated urea in blood.

you have anemia definitely and need iron tablets and elevated urea canbe due to the tablet or slowing of kidney function In general, around 7 to 20 mg/dL (2.5 to 7.1 mmol/L) is considered normal. But normal ranges may vary, depending on the reference range used by the lab, and your age. Ask your doctor to explain your results. Urea nitrogen levels tend to increase with age.
