Similar with high creatinine level, high BUN level is also a sign of severe kidney damage for kidney failure patients. So kidney failure patients should also pay attention to it, and have effective treatment to lower high BUN.

High BUN level and kidney failure 

BUN, which is also called blood urea nitrogen, is the waste product of protein in body, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. When the kidneys can work normally, or the kidney function is more than 50%, the BUN level can be kept in a normal level. However, when the kidneys are damaged severely, the BUN level will be elevated.

When people suffer from high BUN level, it means their kidney function is less than 50%, in this condition, they need to have effective treatment to lower their BUN level. Or their kidney function will be decreased quickly and their BUN level will be higher.

When kidney failure patients suffer from high BUN level, it will cause some bad effects on patients, such as high creatinine level, elevated blood pressure, loss of appetite, bleeding gums, electrolyte disturbance, metabolic acidosis, abnormal of urine test, etc. However, only depending on high BUN level, it cant tell the kidney dysfunction, patients also need to have some other tests to diagnose their kidney function.

When kidney failure patients suffer from high BUN level, they need to have effective treatment to lower their BUN level. And the common treatment include diet therapy and medical therapy.

Diet therapy

Because the urea nitrogen is the waste products of protein in body, so patients need to limit their protein intake in their daily diet, which can help reduce the produce of urea nitrogen and reduce the kidney burden. Besides, they should also limit the salt intake and fluid intake, which can help relieve the symptoms of high blood pressure and swelling.

Medical therapy

Since the high BUN level is mainly caused by low kidney function, so patients need to have effective treatment to improve the kidney function, which can help reduce the BUN level fundamentally.

The recommended treatment is Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, which can help improve the kidney function. Through a systemic treatment, it can help lower the high BUN level naturally and fundamentally.
