Patients with sepsis have a high mortality rate. Rapid and effective risk stratification indicators for sepsis-related death are urgently needed to explored. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level can reflect the protein catabolism in the human body and the degree of renal impairment. So it has particular value for the management of septic patients. In this study, we explored the relationship between BUN level and 30-day mortality in patients with sepsis.
