BUN/Cr: BUN or blood urea nitrogen is the measurement of this chemical in your blood stream. It is a product of ammonia metabolism from your liver. Its serum level is determined by how much urea you make and how much you secrete from your kidney. Normal range for adults is 10-20 mg/dL. Creatinine is a product from your muscles and it is filtered through kidney too. Normal 0.6 to 1.2
