Blood Urea Nitrogen is the final breakdown product of Nitrogen Containing Compounds via the urea cycle. Blood Urea Nitrogen value may increase in the setting of higher protein intake and Kidney dysfunction. It may decrease in the setting of Liver failure due to impaired Urea Cycle. This video speaks about the basics of BUN and the most important BUN/Cr ratio.

Thank you for this informative video. What is the ratio of creatinine and bun? Specifically, is BUN level of 87 mg/dL natural when creatinine is 3.4 mg/dL?

Can you please tell me if GFR is an indication different from BUN or Creatinine and if GFR is a level that can be tested for kidney function. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
