A member asked:
Is the bun 6 low to be concern with a 63 year old female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless we're talking about a child with some rare inborn error of mebatolism, or someone who is obviously gravely sick clinically, low BUN is never a cause for concern. Reference ranges are set so that several precent of healthy folks arbitrarily fall outside.
