hello. is a high egfr or low urea cause for concern? if so what could be causing it? my egfr is 136, my urea of 2.3, the range is 2.5-7.8. my creatine and albumin are normal. thank you?

Accepted Answer

: Low urea is either due to low protein intake or vigorous hydration, nothing to concern, unless you also have low blood sodium (Na), in that case you have to lower free water intake. I would assume you have a quite low serum creatinine too and that's why your eGFR is above normal range. High eGFR is only important in people with early phase of diabetic mellitus which is called hyperfiltration phase

Low urea is good: Most labs report "normal" range for blood urea nitrogen as with serum creatinine. In fact  BUN should ideally be reported as normal < 20 in  adults. Babies should have very low bun, lower the better. Your liver problem is something else and best discussed with your GI dr.
