Bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract is an important cause of high urea nitrogen, commonly accompanied by elevation of BUN:creatinine ratio. Nephrotoxic drugs must be considered. Borderline high values may occur after recent ingestion of high protein meal and muscle wasting may cause an elevation as well.

Code R53. 83 is the diagnosis code used for Other Fatigue. It is a condition marked by drowsiness and an unusual lack of energy and mental alertness. It can be caused by many things, including illness, injury, or drugs.
A: The ICD-10-CM index lists code R79. 89 (Other specified abnormal findings of blood chemistry) as the default for abnormal liver function tests (LFTs). This is a nonspecific code and does not specifically identify the LFT.
Abnormal levels of other serum enzymesR74. 8 - Abnormal levels of other serum enzymes | ICD-10-CM.
The ICD code R798 is used to code Azotemia. Azotemia (azot, "nitrogen" + -emia, "blood condition") is a medical condition characterized by abnormally high levels of nitrogen-containing compounds (such as urea, creatinine, various body waste compounds, and other nitrogen-rich compounds) in the blood. It is largely related to insufficient ...
This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code R79.89 and a single ICD9 code, 790.99 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Disorders of urea cycle metabolism 1 A genetic inborn error of metabolism characterized by the deficiency of one of the enzymes necessary for the urea cycle. It results in accumulation of ammonia in the body. 2 Inherited errors in the metabolic reactions occurring in the liver that convert ammonia to urea, resulting from inborn genetic mutations. 3 Rare congenital metabolism disorders of the urea cycle. The disorders are due to mutations that result in complete (neonatal onset) or partial (childhood or adult onset) inactivity of an enzyme, involved in the urea cycle. Neonatal onset results in clinical features that include irritability, vomiting, lethargy, seizures, neonatal hypotonia; respiratory alkalosis; hyperammonemia; coma, and death. Survivors of the neonatal onset and childhood/adult onset disorders share common risks for encephalopathies, metabolic, inborn; and respiratory alkalosis due to hyperammonemia.
Clinical Information. A genetic inborn error of metabolism characterized by the deficiency of one of the enzymes necessary for the urea cycle. It results in accumulation of ammonia in the body.
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.

Uremia is best evaluated with creatinine as well as urea nitrogen. 1 In both prerenal and postrenal azotemia, for instance, BUN is apt to be increased somewhat more than is creatinine; however, in a series of dehydrated children with gastroenteritis who had metabolic acidosis and increased anion gap, 88% had BUN concentration ≤18 mg/dL.
Although creatinine is generally considered a more specific test to evaluate renal function, they are commonly used together. 1 Luke points out that clinical renal failure is variable between individual patients. 1 Drug effects have been summarized. 6
Urea is created not only from dietary protein, but also from protein in your tissues [ 3 ]. On a normal diet, we produce about 12 g of urea each day [ 2 ]. The bulk of the urea, about 10 g each day, is eliminated by the kidneys [ 2 ].
Any standard blood test will have BUN or urea numbers. Conventional doctors will look at high or low BUN numbers and not mention anything, but these can indicate that certain processes in the body aren’t optimal.
A BUN test is usually done with a blood creatinine test. The level of creatinine in your blood also tells how well your kidneys are working. A high creatinine level may signal problems with the kidneys or heart, but if it’s slightly elevated, it could simply mean that your diet is high in protein [ 9 ].
Blood urea nitrogen ( BUN) is a measure of the amount of urea in the blood [ 1 ]. The liver produces urea as a waste product of proteins breakdown. It binds excess nitrogen from used-up proteins and safely removes it from the body [ 1, 2 ]. Urea is created not only from dietary protein, but also from protein in your tissues [ 3 ].
To start with, elevated urea on its own has some adverse effects. Urea in high concentrations can cause oxidative stress in cells [ 16 ]. However, high BUN is also an indicator of other underlying conditions. High BUN indicates increased protein breakdown, which is associated with decreased immune function.
Urea elimination (via the kidneys) Therefore, BUN is an indicator of kidney health and/or liver health. However, creatinine is a much more reliable marker of kidney function. BUN is far more likely to be affected by dietary and physiologic conditions unrelated to kidney function [ 2 ].
