DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1. Stabilized urease composition comprising urease of a specific activity of from 25-1500 U/mg and, as a stabilizing agent, a stabilizing mixture of glutathione, ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid and citrate, wherein said citrate is present in stabilizingly effective amount. 2. Urease composition a claimed in claim 1, wherein said composition contains urease, glutathione, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and citrate in a weight ratio of 1:0. 5-5:0. 5-3:0. 5-3. 3. Urease composition as claimed in claim wherein said urease is dextran pre-tested urease. 4. Urease composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein said urease is in lyophilized form. 5. Urease composition as claimed in claim 1 wherein said urease is in the form of a solution in a glycerol/water mixture. 6. Reagent for the detection of urea comprising a stabilized urease as claimed in claim 1, and a system for the detection of ammonia. 7. Reagent as claimed in claim 6 additionally containing a binding agent, carrier and buffer substance. 8. Reagent as claimed in claim 6 additionally containing a stabilizer for the system for the detection of ammonia. 9. Reagent as claimed in claim 6 comprising a carrier paper or carrier film impregnated with the stabilized urease and the system for the detection of ammonia or coated on in the form of a binding agent-containing layer. 10. Reagent as claimed in claim 6 wherein the system for the determination of urea contains at least one pH indicator and optionally a wetting agent and/or buffer. 11. Reagent as claimed in claim 6 wherein the system for the determination of ammonia comprises glutamic acid dehydrogenase, an alpha-ketoglutarate, reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide, adenosine diphosphate and a buffer. 12. Reagent as claimed in claim 6 wherein the system for the determination of ammonia comprises phenol or salicylic acid, sodium nitroferric cyanide and sodium hypochlorite. 13. Process for preparing a stabilized urease composition which comprises adding to urease of a specific activity of from 25-1500 U/mg, stabilizingly effective amounts of a stabilizing mixture of glutathione, ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid and citrate, wherein said citrate is present in stabilizingly effective amount
