BUN (blood urea nitrogen)

BUN (نایترۆجینی ئیوریای خوێن)

The same urea measured in a different way: only the nitrogen part of urea.

Definition

The same urea measured in a different way: only the nitrogen part of urea. It is used more by American labs. Its number is about half the urea number, so don't compare a BUN result directly with a urea result.
