Your kidneys perform several essential jobs for your body, including filtering the blood, regulating electrolyte levels, and producing hormones.

Useful Information
A blood urea nitrogen test, or BUN test, shows how well your kidneys are functioning. Your liver breaks down the proteins you eat and produces urea nitrogen, which is released into your blood. Healthy kidneys should remove the BUN and leave only a small amount in the blood. Abnormal BUN levels show that something is wrong with your kidneys.
