BUNnivå

BUNnivå is a Swedish term that translates to "BUN level" in English. It refers to the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentration in the blood, which is a measure of the body's nitrogen waste. BUN levels are commonly used in clinical settings to assess kidney function, dehydration, and other conditions. Elevated BUN levels can indicate kidney problems, dehydration, or other underlying health issues. Conversely, low BUN levels can suggest overhydration or certain medical conditions. BUN levels are typically measured in millimoles per liter (mmol/L) or milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Normal BUN levels generally range from 2.5 to 7.5 mmol/L (7 to 20 mg/dL) for adults. Regular monitoring of BUN levels is essential for managing and treating various medical conditions, including kidney disease, dehydration, and certain types of cancer.
