Description
A BUN test is typically obtained with other blood tests to assess kidney function. When the kidneys are not working correctly, blood urea nitrogen increases as less urea gets excreted in the urine. However, urea production can vary independently of kidney function, so a BUN test is less practical than creatinine to assess kidney health. BUN is often combined with creatinine to obtain the ratio of BUN to creatinine, which can help determine renal failure.
