Question 1

increase of bun?

Accepted Answer

Kidney testing: BUN is elevated when one is not ill if the patient is fasting, is a bit dehydrated or has not eaten or drank much fluid before the test. It is rarely in and of itself a problem.

Question 2

age adjusted bun?

Accepted Answer

BUN: Normal range is 7-39 mg/dl; no adjustment for age is required.

Question 3

what is a bun test?

Accepted Answer

Family practice : It stands for blood urea nitrogen. It is usually run with a creatine test to determine how your kidneys are functioning.

Question 4

what does high bun 44 mean?

Accepted Answer

High BUN: May mean that you have kidney disease, or hemolytic anemia, or gastrointestinal bleeding, or stomach obstruction. Dehydration also can cause the level of blood urea nitrogen to be falsely higher. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

: Can you rephrase your question?

Question 6

what does a bun of 28 mean on labwork ?

Accepted Answer

Blood urea nitrogen: BUN (Blood urea nitrogen) helps to indicate kidney function. Usually 7 to 20 mg/dL is normal in adults.

Question 7

bun to creatnine ratio is 23:1 is it normal ?

Accepted Answer

Kidney function test: The ratio is acceptable provided that the bun &amp; creatinine are within normal ranges. Stay well hydrated and drink enough water. Best wishes.

Question 8

is 7 on my bun something to be concerned about ?

Accepted Answer

Nope.: An elevated BUN level is much more concerning than a marginally low one like yours. When high, the BUN means your kidneys are not working well (can also indicate things like a urinary tract obstruction, congestive heart failure, or dehydration). A low BUN level could indicate liver disease, but this is very unlikely at the level you mention, and would likely show up in other tests you had.

Question 9

my bun/creat ratio is 24.4- should i be concerned ?

Accepted Answer

No: Ideally, this number should be around 10.  When it's mildly elevated, that means you are mildly dehydrated usually.  This can happen just from the fast before getting blood work done.  But as long as your BUN and creatinine themselves are normal, the ratio doesn't really mean much.

Question 10

my bun test came back it was 21 should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No.: BUN seems normal.  It is more likely related to your intravascular volume and recent diet than anything of clinical import.
