Blood urea nitrogen has additive value beyond estimated glomerular filtration rate for prediction of long-term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) has been shown to independently predict short- and intermediate-term outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to assess the additive predictive value of BUN beyond estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in AMI patients with an 8.6-year follow-up.
