Possible: Potential explanations1. Lab errors 2. Gi bleed or ketosis leading to high BUN or creatinine 3. Correction of acute kidney injury 4.Interpretation with out estimated glomerular filtration rate. 5. Discontinuation of drugs which can alter the labs (cimetidine, acei, arb, fibrinates, diuretics, steroids, nsaids). 6. Relief of obstruction. 7. Change in patient hydration see your doctor to sort out.
