The BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) Test measures the concentration of urea nitrogen in the blood, which results from protein metabolism processed by the kidneys. This test is crucial for assessing kidney function; elevated BUN levels may indicate impaired kidney function, dehydration, or other kidney-related issues. It aids in diagnosing and monitoring kidney health, guiding treatment decisions, and evaluating therapy effectiveness. A blood sample is taken from a vein for analysis.
Regular monitoring, typically recommended annually or as needed based on kidney function, is essential for maintaining overall kidney health and metabolic balance.
