The BUN test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in your blood. Urea nitrogen is a waste product that your kidneys remove from your blood.

Answered by Apollo Doctors

In my urine report calcium oxalate was found and my doctor mentioned that in the future it could lead to kidney stones. Is this correct and how can I reduce the calcium oxalate?

Hi Doctor, I have been experiencing high BP 130/92. As advised, I got KFT and LFT done. The reports are normal except for slightly high total protein in KFT and low urea levels. Should I also undergo an eGFR test at this stage?
