Elevated BUN: By giving your slight increase of BUN is telling half the story. What happened to your sodium, chloride and creatinine (c) in the same time interval? You BUN went up by about 30%, if your c increased by less, dehydration is a possibility. If you have any questions about the status of your transplanted kidney, call your transplant nephrologists and get their opinion about your case.
