The Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood — a waste product produced by the liver during protein metabolism. Elevated levels can indicate reduced kidney function, dehydration, or increased protein breakdown.
This test is frequently ordered alongside creatinine to assess kidney health, monitor renal disorders, or evaluate the impact of conditions like liver disease or urinary obstruction.
