Medical Conditions - Blood Urea Nitrogen

Urea nitrogen, a waste product produced in the liver, is produced when the body breaks down proteins. Blood urea nitrogen is a blood test done to evaluate the functions of the kidney. It is used in measuring the amount of urea nitrogen present in the blood. It also helps in diagnosing liver damage, malnutrition, congestive heart failure, urinary obstruction, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Having a value of 7 to 20 mg/dL is considered normal.
