    What is the difference between creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) tests?

    Both creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) tests are used to evaluate kidney function. The creatinine test measures the amount of creatinine in the blood, which is a waste product of muscle metabolism. The BUN test measures the amount of urea nitrogen, a waste product produced when protein is broken down. Elevated levels of either creatinine or BUN can indicate kidney dysfunction. Doctors often use both tests together to get a comprehensive view of how well the kidneys are filtering waste.
