Question 9

how i can reduce urea in my body(kidney)? thanks

Accepted Answer

Eat Less Protein: If your urea, your "bun" --blood urea nitrogen, is high, it means your kidneys are damaged or failing.  The urea is a waste product of the breakdown of dietary protein or the protein in your own muscles and tissues, so you can lower it by eating exactly the amount of protein they need each day.  This may be as low as 0.3 grams of dietary protein per kilogram ideal body weight per day.

Question 10

why urea level elevated after treatmen of leukemia?

Accepted Answer

Hi BUN+leukemia : This can be due to enhanced tissue  breakdown (catabolic state) caused by specific anti-leukemeic therapy. Glucocorticoid used in some chemo protocols can also cause this. Perenal azotemia similar to dehydration, certain medication and high protein intake are others. Depending on your specific situation, upper gastrointestinal bleeding is possible and this too can cause an elevated bun.
