A member asked:

Test results! bun=6 /hematocrit=34/hct ic =35.1. is these normal results? the paper i was given shows these are below normal but dr said they were ok

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What's "normal"?: Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside on either end. "normal" doesn't necessarily mean "healthy" in any case. Especially, low BUN in a person who looks and feels well never means anything. Your physician gave you good advice.
