This study aims to investigate the association between the blood urea nitrogen-to-creatinine (BUN/Cr) ratio and 28-day mortality in critically ill patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) who received ...

A blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood. The result can indicate how well a person’s kidneys are working. A higher than normal level of BUN may point to ...

Blood urea nitrogen levels of a least 19.5 mmol/L served as an indicator of disease severity and prognosis. In patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), ...

BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is a test that measures the amount of urea nitrogen which is a breakdown product of protein metabolism. It is a routine test used primarily to evaluate kidney function and is ...

An eGFR below 60 ml/min indicates possible kidney disease. High creatinine levels in the blood can suggest the kidneys are not working well. A urine albumin result higher than 30 mg/gram may be a sign ...

Creatinine is a product of muscle metabolism and the most specific indicator of renal function because it is freely filtered through the glomerulus. Throughout adult life, the serum creatinine can ...
