Blood Urea Test (BUN)

Hans Hospital Agra

Blood Urea Nitrogen Test

Essential test for kidney function and metabolic health assessment.

The Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. At Hans Hospital Agra, this test is crucial for evaluating kidney function, detecting kidney diseases, and monitoring various metabolic disorders.

Urea is a waste product formed in the liver from ammonia and is normally excreted by the kidneys. Elevated BUN levels may indicate impaired kidney function or other health conditions.
