Abstract

One of the disease issues in the world is hypertension. A risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and renal failure that causes early death is hypertension. Hypertension itself is the most common comorbidity disease seen in patients with chronic renal failure, where its prevalence increases with a decrease in kidney function, and can also cause blood vessels in the kidneys to constrict so that the flow of food substances to the kidneys is disturbed and if it occurs continuously kidney function will be disturbed. One of the indicators to determine disorders in kidney function is to check the level of Blood Urea Nitrogen. This study used a descriptive method to obtain a picture of blood urea nitrogen levels in hypertensive patients who experienced chronic kidney failure at M. Yunus Hospital Bengkulu in 2022. The results showed that of the 29 samples that had abnormal value levels as many as 25 samples (86.2%) or almost all, and those with normal value levels were 4 samples (13.8%) or a small part. Based on the study, it was found almost all samples had abnormal blood urea nitrogen values, and a small number had normal blood urea nitrogen values. To ensure that the kidneys function properly and are normal, it is recommended for hypertension individuals who develop renal failure to be able to alter their water intake and output.
