What does the Blood Urea Nitrogen Test measure?
- A small amount of urea in blood is needed for proper functioning. The Blood Nitrogen test is conducted to measure urea nitrogen content in the blood. But in case the urea nitrogen level is abnormally high, then it may be a sign that the kidney is not functioning properly or is damaged. Kidneys filter out urea from the blood. So if urea is present in high amounts, it indicates that the kidney is not filtering it.
- The low level indicates that all urea is filtered out of the blood. However, various other factors can lead to abrupt urea nitrogen levels in the blood.
What Preparation is needed for the Blood Urea Nitrogen Test?
