Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. Liver breaks down the proteins in your food and creates BUN and the kidneys get rid of this excess nitrogen by flushing it out of the body through urine. BUN is majorly an indicator of kidney or liver health. The BUN test is advised if one experiences symptoms suggestive of kidney disease including painful urination, bloody or foamy urine, tiredness and more. It is also suggested to patients who are undergoing treatment for kidney disease. Higher than normal BUN levels may also indicate dehydration, a high-protein diet, medications, burns, or other conditions. Sometimes BUN levels are likely to get affected by dietary conditions unrelated to kidney function.
Urea is a waste product produced by the liver when proteins are broken down. It is then filtered out of the bloodstream by the kidneys and excreted in urine.
BUN is commonly measured as a part of kidney function tests. The normal BUN levels range between 7 and 20 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), although the precise reference range can vary slightly among laboratories.
Elevated BUN levels can indicate impaired kidney function, dehydration, certain medications, high protein intake, or conditions that result in increased protein breakdown. Decreased BUN levels, on the other hand, may be seen in liver disease, malnutrition, or low protein intake.
It is important to note that BUN levels alone are not diagnostic of any specific condition and should be interpreted along with other laboratory tests and clinical findings. A healthcare professional should be consulted for a thorough assessment and interpretation of BUN levels in order to properly evaluate kidney function and identify any underlying conditions that may be contributing to abnormal levels.
