What does BUN measure?

  1. Blood urea nitrogen from protein metabolism

  2. Blood uric acid

  3. Blood sugar levels

  4. Blood albumin levels

The correct answer is: Blood urea nitrogen from protein metabolism

BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood that comes from the waste product urea. Urea is formed when protein is broken down in the body as part of metabolism. Therefore, option A is correct as it accurately represents what BUN measures. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not reflect what BUN is specifically measuring in the blood.
