No: When your BUN is slightly elevated but your creatinine is normal, it usually means you a mildly dehydrated. Not taking in enough fluids is a primary cause of kidney stones also so you should make an effort to take in enough fluids in your diet every day.

A member asked:

I'm a 50 yr old diabetic & my last bloodwork is: GFR was 60, creatinine 0.6, bun 11 is the GFR showing impaired kidney funtion or ckd? Should i worry?

A member asked:

Hi, Bun 15mg(Norm), Creatinine 0.52mg(Low), BUN/Creat Ratio 28.8(High), eGFRcr 127mL, Alk Phos 72U/L, Ast 18U/L, Alt 19U/L. My Creatinine level (which keeps dropping) and BUN/Creat ratio worries me. Kidney, liver or any other issue I need to worry?

A member asked:

My eGFR has been between 54-58 since 2020. Normal BUN & creatinine. Family hx of kidney disease. Hospitalized in childhood for repeated kidney infections and my left kidney is about 1/3 normal size. Primary care dismissed my concern. Should I worry?

A member asked:

My sodium levels are consistently in the lower 130s. Last time, 132. Doctors say my heart and kidneys are fine, though my Cl is 94, BUN is 7, and creatinine is 0.5. Everything else is within normal range. What could be causing my low Na levels?

A member asked:

MY BUN result is within normal range as well as my URINALYSIS, and my right kidney UTZ is normal while my left kidney has small renal cyst. My CREATININE is sightly elevated. It's 124. In what CKD Level do I probably fall under?

My Bun/Creatinine is 31.9 but I drink 2 liters of water every day. I have had a lot of kidney stones in the past. Could this high number just be from kidney damage? Thanks?

I had bloodwork done on tuesday that came back with a bun/creatinine ratio of 23. All other tests were normal. On wednesday night i had a kidney stone attack. Would that have raised my ratio?

I have elevated blood creatinine (1.34 mg/dL) and all other tests lie in normal range (blood albumin&protein, spot urine ACR, kidney USG, BUN, Urea, U. Acid). I used to lift heavy weights but quit. I always had elevated creatinine. Something to worry?

I had one more quick question. If bun 25, creatinine 1.5, bun/creat ratio 17, egfr 58...The egfr means im in stage 3 CKD right? 58% kidney function?
