  2. Blood urea nitrogen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_urea_nitrogen

    BUN is an indication of kidney health. The normal range is 2.1–7.1 mmol/L or 6–20 mg/dL. [1]The main causes of an increase in BUN are: high-protein diet, decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (suggestive of kidney failure), decrease in blood volume (hypovolemia), congestive heart failure, gastrointestinal hemorrhage, [5] fever, rapid cell destruction from infections, athletic ...

  3. Uremia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uremia

    As the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level increases, patients might develop uremic stomatitis. Uremic stomatitis appears as a pseudo membrane or frank ulcerations with redness and a pultaceous coat in the mouth. These lesions could be related to high BUN level (>150mg/dL), and disappear spontaneously when the BUN level is reduced with medical ...

    However, elevated BUN:Cr ratios are not observed when other high protein loads (e.g., steak) are consumed. [citation needed] Renal hypoperfusion secondary to the blood lost from the GI bleed has been postulated to explain the elevated BUN:Cr ratio. However, other research has found that renal hypoperfusion cannot fully explain the elevation.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test is a measure of the amount of nitrogen in the blood that comes from urea. It is used as a marker of renal function , though it is inferior to other markers such as creatinine because blood urea levels are influenced by other factors such as diet, dehydration, [ 35 ] and liver function.

  6. Upper gastrointestinal bleeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_gastrointestinal...

    The strongest predictors of an upper gastrointestinal bleed are black stool, age <50 years, and blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio 30 or more. [8] [9] The diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal bleeding is assumed when hematemesis (vomiting of blood) is observed. [citation needed]

  9. High anion gap metabolic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_anion_gap_metabolic...

    High anion gap metabolic acidosis is a form of metabolic acidosis characterized by a high anion gap (a medical value based on the concentrations of ions in a patient's serum). Metabolic acidosis occurs when the body produces too much acid , or when the kidneys are not removing enough acid from the body.
