Here are some ...: Are you a very muscular man? Have your serum creatinine been about at the same level over the past 5 years? If so, you're probably okay with no need to do anything but keep up healthy lifestyle without overindulgence. But low BUN may indicate you may have been on low-protein diet, which is uncommon for a muscular man. Therefore, seek one pro-evaluation and counseling for present & future.
