Pregunta
The clinical estimate of urea in blood is called your [blank_start]blood urea nitrogen[blank_end] level or [blank_start]BUN[blank_end].
Pregunta 28
Pregunta
Why would your BUN level increase when you have a disease?
Respuesta
-
Because the kidneys are not functioning at full capacity and are unable to clear the nitrogen from your system properly
-
during a disease there is a significant number of cells that are damaged and dying. They are made up of proteins which is a nitrogenous waste and thus your BUN will rise.
-
during the disease process the inflammatory process produces greater amounts of nitrogen therefor increase blood nitrogen levels.

your BUN will not increase when you have a disease.
