It is part of the basic or comprehensive metabolic panel done for health screening. It is also used to monitor the progression of kidney failure. BUN is produced by the breakdown of protein and usually cleared from the blood by the kidneys. A higher than normal value may show impaired ...
If your doctor suspects kidney inflammation, you will likely receive more tests. This is because several other diseases mimic vasculitis, and also because treatment for this condition comes with serious risks. One other likely test will be a kidney biopsy.

Azotemia, poor kidney function, will cause elevated BUN levels (≥ 50 mg/dL) and is associated with acute kidney failure or injury, severe acute pancreatitis, congestive heart failure, or gastrointestinal bleeding. Azotemia also can occur with dehydration, as a result of alcohol abuse, or with ...
The GFR test measures how well your kidneys filter waste from your blood. It will tell your doctor how much kidney function you have. A very low number means kidney failure, which means you'll need dialysis (a treatment that helps your kidneys remove waste or fluids from your blood) or a...
The blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr ratio) is a laboratory biomarker frequently used for determining dehydration. The BUN/Cr ratio is used to predict the prognosis of many diseases, including stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, heart failure, and hip fracture [[14], [15], [16]...
