In addition to direct damage to the kidneys, high BUN levels can be caused by blockage of the urinary tract (by an object such as a kidney stone or tumor) or reduced blood flow to the kidneys caused by dehydration or heart failure.
A high BUN value may also be caused by a high-protein diet, Addison's disease, tissue damage (such as from severe burns), or from bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
BUN levels may normally be low in the third trimester of pregnancy.

Predialysis BUN samples should be drawn immediately prior to dialysis, using a technique that avoids dilution of the blood sample with saline or heparin.
Postdialysis BUN samples should be drawn using the slow flow/stop pump technique that prevents sample dilution with recirculated blood and minimizes the confounding effects of urea rebound.
Blood for postdialysis BUN measurement may be sampled by needle aspiration from the arterial sampling port closest to the patient.

 BUN: The Test
The BUN test is primarily used, along with the creatinine test, to evaluate kidney function under a wide range of circumstances and to monitor patients with acute or chronic kidney dysfunction or failure.
It may also be due to a condition that results in decreased blood flow to the kidneys, such as congestive heart failure, shock, stress, recent heart attack, or severe burns, to conditions that cause obstruction of urine flow, or to dehydration.
BUN concentrations may be elevated when there is excessive protein catabolism (breakdown), significantly increased protein in the diet, or gastrointestinal bleeding (because of the proteins present in the blood).

 Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Concentration in Dogs
Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is typically measured to assess kidney function; however, there are many different metabolic processes and diseases that alter BUN concentration.
BUN is often considered an insensitive measure of kidney function since an increase in BUN concentration occurs only after at least 65%-75% of the functional kidney mass has been lost (Fig.
The basic mechanism causing a decreased BUN concentration is a decrease in protein catabolism or an inability to synthesize urea from ammonia.
