What is Blood Urea Nitrogen in Mumbai?

Your doctor may advise the BUN test especially when you have symptoms suggestive of kidney dysfunction such as frequent urination, blood in urine, muscle cramps, or sharp pain in your groin. This test can also be done if there are risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease, etc. Usually, no special preparation is required for a BUN test.

What does Blood Urea Nitrogen measure?

The Blood Urea Nitrogen test measures the levels of urea nitrogen in the blood. Blood urea is a waste product that is formed in the liver when you eat food and the protein is metabolized into amino acids. This process leads to the production of ammonia that is further converted into urea. Both ammonia and urea are nitrogenous compounds. Your liver releases urea into the blood which is then carried out to the kidneys. In the kidneys, urea is filtered from the blood and flushed out of the body via urine. This is a continuous process, so a small amount of urea nitrogen always remains in the blood.

In the case of a kidney or liver disease, there is a change in the amount of urea present in the blood. If your liver produces urea in an increased amount or if there is any problem in kidney functioning, there might be difficulty in filtering out the waste products from the blood, which can result in increased urea levels in the blood.
