A member asked:
What does an increase in bun, creatinine and alt indicate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Liver and kidney: All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that. The results you allude to are for liver and kidney function, but it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion form the data you provided.

What means bun/creatinine ratio and elevated alt?
I have high BUN and BUN/creatinine ratio (normal creatinine). I also have high ALT(SGPT). I understand the BUN can come from high dietary protein, but what does the ALT of 35 mean? Should I reduce protein intake to lower BUN?
I'm a 24yo, 128lbs female. I exercise 45-90 minutes/day and eat a high protein(~200g/day) and high fiber(~50g/day) diet. My recent metabolic panel reports high BUN(24), high BUN/creatinine ratio(28) and high ALT(35). Could this be from high protein?
