Blood urea nitrogenAcute heart failureCardiovascular eventThe association between kinetics of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels in hospital and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acutely decompensated congestive heart failure (HF) is unclear. We aimed to estimate the impact of changes in BUN level...
Urea nitrogen is a normal waste product created in your liver as it breaks down certain proteins found in your food. Urea nitrogen travels through the blood to your kidneys, which filter out all but a small amount. Urea nitrogen exits from your body when you pee. When your kidneys are hea...
Identifying reversible renal dysfunction (RD) in the setting of heart failure is challenging. The goal of this study was to evaluate whether elevated admission blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio (BUN/Cr) could identify decompensated heart failure patie
Patients with high blood urea nitrogen levels who were treated with high-dose loop diuretics had a mortality risk of nearly 60%, according to study results. There were 2,456 patients from the Beta-Blocker Eval...

Creatinine levels are checked to assess kidney function.They are usually checked with another kidney function marker called BUN, or blood urea nitrogen. These tests used together give an indication of overall kidney function, but the best way to know if your kidneys are working properly is to me...
Ileal effluents and blood and urine samples werecollected over an 8-h period after the meal ingestion, and 15N enrichments were measured to assess the digestibility ofmeat proteins and the transfer of dietary nitrogen into the metabolic pools.Results: Proteins tended to be less digestible for the...
Male controls exhibited a significantly higher blood glucose level than did female controls. Blood urea nitrogen concentrations were slightly decreased in both sexes fed PSML-10%, PSMS-5%, or PSMS-10%. No sex difference was noted. All experimental diet groups, male and female, exhibited ...
A significant difference was not detected between treatments for blood urea nitrogen, but it was the only measured blood chemistry parameter that trended toward significance. Table 3. Blood chemistry results (mean ± standard error) from fish (n = 5) sampled from the high and low NO3-N ...
Non-surviving patients were more often medical pa- tients, had a lower arterial blood pressure, a higher blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio and higher severity scores. ICU scores differentiated better than the ARF score (Table 3). There was no difference in age, percent- age of oliguric ...
