BUN-Urea-Creatinine near me in Mumbai
The BUN-Urea-Creatinine test comprises a group of blood tests that help assess the overall health of the kidneys and their ability to filter waste products from the blood. This test is commonly done as a part of the kidney function test (KFT) to evaluate kidney function, diagnose kidney disorders, and monitor the progression of kidney diseases. This test is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Mumbai.
The BUN-Urea-Creatinine test is done when an individual has symptoms that may suggest kidney problems, such as frequent urination, blood in the urine, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, loss of appetite, swelling in the hands and feet, fatigue, nausea, difficulty breathing, etc. It can also be done as part of routine health check-ups, especially for individuals at higher risk of kidney disease, such as those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney problems. Additionally, this test also helps determine the effectiveness of dialysis treatment in kidney disease patients. No special preparation is required for this test. Eat and drink as per your daily routine.
Understanding BUN-Urea-Creatinine
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urea, and creatinine are all nitrogenous waste products that are normally filtered by the kidneys. Therefore, their levels in the blood can serve as an important indicator of kidney function. The BUN-Urea-Creatinine test helps determine how well the kidneys are filtering these waste products, diagnose and monitor kidney diseases such as acute kidney injury (AKI), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and glomerulonephritis and track kidney function in patients with known kidney disorders or those undergoing treatment for conditions that can affect the health of kidneys and their function.

Additionally, this test also helps determine the effectiveness of dialysis treatment in kidney disease patients.
Usually, no special preparation is needed before undergoing a BUN-Urea-Creatinine test. However, you are still advised to follow your doctor's instructions closely. Additionally, it is important to tell your doctor about any medications and supplements you take, as certain medications can temporarily affect your test results.
Test result ranges can vary slightly between labs due to differences in testing methods and guidelines. It's important to discuss your specific results with your doctor. Sharing your complete medical history can help them understand your overall health better. Based on the results, your doctor will assess your medical condition, suggest lifestyle changes like diet and exercise, and decide if medication is needed to manage kidney health.
What does BUN-Urea-Creatinine measure?
Contains 3 testsThe BUN-Urea-Creatinine test measures the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), urea, and creatinine in your blood. Urea is a waste product formed from protein breakdown, BUN measures the amount of nitrogen in the blood from urea, and creatinine is a waste product of muscle metabolism. This test helps assess kidney function by determining how well the kidneys filter and remove these waste products from the body.
The Serum Creatinine test measures the creatinine level, a byproduct produced by the wear and tear of muscles during energy production. Since kidneys help filter creatinine, this test helps determine how well your kidneys work. Usually, high levels of creatinine in the blood signal diminished kidney function. At the same time, low levels may indicate decreased muscle mass.

The Blood Urea test measures the level of urea in the blood. Urea is a byproduct of protein metabolism. Proteins you consume in your diet are digested and converted into amino acids, which are then utilized by the body. This metabolic process produces a toxic byproduct known as ammonia. Ammonia is then rapidly converted into urea by your liver. Urea is comparatively less toxic than ammonia and is transported to the kidneys via the blood. The kidneys then filter it out through the urine. This process continues and the body keeps producing and eliminating urea, maintaining its low and steady levels in the blood.

The Blood Urea Nitrogen test measures the levels of urea nitrogen in the blood. Blood urea is a waste product that is formed in the liver when you eat food and the protein is metabolized into amino acids. This process leads to the production of ammonia that is further converted into urea. Both ammonia and urea are nitrogenous compounds. Your liver releases urea into the blood which is then carried out to the kidneys. In the kidneys, urea is filtered from the blood and flushed out of the body via urine. This is a continuous process, so a small amount of urea nitrogen always remains in the blood.
In the case of a kidney or liver disease, there is a change in the amount of urea present in the blood. If your liver produces urea in an increased amount or if there is any problem in kidney functioning, there might be difficulty in filtering out the waste products from the blood, which can result in increased urea levels in the blood.
