Depending on the symptoms you are experiencing, your doctor may order a BUN and MCHC test. In most hospitals BUN and MCHC results can be obtained within three to six hours after blood is taken. The blood is usually drawn from a vein on the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. Drink plenty of water before your appointment.
