A member asked:
Hi is blood urea, serum cretanine and bun all the same! what is their range in adult male. is there a different range for diabetics.

No : BUN and creatinine are not the same . They both can help in determining organ function (kidney). BUN measurements very slightly by age, labs performing test and the units used to report the result. The same applies to creatinine. Generally speaking bun can range 5-21, creatinine 0.5-1.2. When it comes to diabetics the same parameters are used .
