BUN Price in Bangladesh

What is BUN?

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) is a blood test that measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood. Urea is a waste product produced when the body breaks down protein.

The kidneys filter urea from the blood, and it is excreted in urine. A high BUN level can indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or excessive protein breakdown, while a low BUN level may be seen in conditions like malnutrition or liver disease.

The test is often used to assess kidney function, monitor kidney disease, or evaluate hydration status. Normal BUN levels typically range from 7 to 20 mg/dL, though this can vary depending on the lab and individual factors.

What to expect & how to prepare

BUN is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your BUN result rather than self-diagnosing.
