A member asked:
My bun level is 5, is that too low and what does that number represent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BUN of 5: Your BUN of 5 mg/dl is just below normal. It is important to know that its level varies from lab to lab. Your BUN is a function of your protein intake and your state of hydration. If you need any more information in your case, perhaps discussing your question with the physician who ordered the test would be helpful.
