Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BUN (blood urea nitrogen) is a blood test that measures the amount of nitrogenous waste, specifically urea, in the blood. CAPD (continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis) is a type of dialysis used to treat kidney failure but is not a blood test. ESWL (extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy) and KUB (kidneys, ureters, bladder) are imaging tests used to diagnose kidney stones, but do not measure nitrogenous waste in the blood.
