Question: How do I prepare for the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test?
Answer: Tell your doctor if you have the following symptoms, which can be signs that something is wrong with your kidneys: â A change in how much you urinate â Pee that is foamy, bloody, discolored, or brown â Pain while you pee â Swelling in your arms, wrists, legs, ankles, around your eyes, face, or abdomen â Restless legs during sleep â Joint or bone pain â Pain in the mid-back where kidneys are located â You're tired all the time Before the blood test, tell your doctor what medications you're taking. If any of them might alter the test result, your doctor may ask you to stop taking them for a period of time. If you're only getting a BUN test, you can eat and drink.

Question: What do high blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels mean?
Answer: Things that affect your BUN level might include: â High-protein diet (may cause high BUN levels) â Low-protein diet (may cause low BUN levels) â Several medications, including steroids and antibiotics (increased or decreased BUN levels) â Pregnancy â Aging High BUN levels can also indicate various problems with your kidneys. Talk to your doctor about what could be causing the problem and plan your next steps. High levels can also indicate the following: â Dehydration â Urinary tract obstruction (blockage from being able to pee) â Congestive heart failure (when your heart doesn't pump blood to your body like it should) â Shock â Burn injuries â Stress â Heart attack â Gastrointestinal bleeding (bleeding in your digestive tracts, such as your stomach, intestines, or esophagus) Low BUN levels are rare.

Answer: If you have low BUN levels, it could indicate: â Liver disease â Malnutrition (when your diet doesn't have enough nutrients or your body can't take them in well) â Overhydration (having too much fluid) But a BUN test is not a way to diagnose these issues, so more tests may be needed Your doctor may also order a creatinine test, which is another blood test that also checks your kidney health. This is because the BUN level by itself doesn't always reveal much. When your BUN levels are compared with your creatinine levels, it gives a fuller picture of what's happening with your kidneys. This is known as the BUN/ Creatinine ratio. Creatinine is a waste product from your muscles that is also filtered by your kidneys. Like BUN, high levels of creatinine could mean there is a lot of waste product that hasn't been removed by the kidneys. The ideal ratio of BUN to creatinine falls between 10-to-1 and 20-to-1. Having a ratio above this range could mean you may not be getting enough blood flow to your kidneys, and could have conditions such as congestive heart failure, dehydration, or gastrointestinal bleeding. A ratio below the normal range could mean liver disease or malnutrition.

Question: What is a blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test?
Answer: Your liver breaks down the proteins in your food -- and while it does that, it creates blood urea nitrogen, also known as BUN. Your liver releases the substance into the blood, and it eventually ends up in your kidneys. When your kidneys are healthy, they remove the BUN, usually leaving a small amount of it in the blood. But for the most part, your kidneys get rid of it by flushing it out of your body through urine. When your kidneys are not healthy, they have trouble removing BUN and leave more of it in your blood. The blood urea nitrogen test, which is also called a BUN or serum BUN test, measures how much of the waste product you have in your blood. If your levels are off the normal range, this could mean that either your kidneys or your liver may not be working properly. Your doctor may order a BUN test as part of a routine checkup.
Question: Why do people get a blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test?
Answer: Your doctor may order a blood urea nitrogen test as part of a routine health screening. If your doctor suspects you may be getting kidney problems, she may order the BUN test. But if you're getting other blood tests, your doctor may give you directions that may include fasting before the test. If you have low BUN levels, it could indicate: â Liver disease â Malnutrition (when your diet doesn't have enough nutrients or your body can't take them in well) â Overhydration (having too much fluid) But a BUN test is not a way to diagnose these issues, so more tests may be needed Your doctor may also order a creatinine test, which is another blood test that also checks your kidney health.

Question: What are the effects of taking prescription omega-3 fatty acids?
Answer: Prescription omega-3 fatty acids or high doses of omega-3 supplements may also affect the blood's ability to clot. People who take blood-thinning medications should be aware of this precaution if they also take omega-3s. Talk to your doctor if you take blood thinning medicines, such as warfarin ( Coumadin) or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ( NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen ( Advil or Motrin),.

Research suggests very high triglyceride levels are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke. However, more research is needed to determine if prescription omega-3s lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Very high triglycerides are also linked to pancreatitis.
