Probably not: We would need to take a history to assess other medications in use as well as perform a physical exam to assess the state of hydration. The high bun/creat ratio and the slightly high Albumin suggest volume depletion. A urinalysis would be helpful in screening this patient for renal disease. The patient's current weight would also be needed. Cystatin c testing and a GFR nuclear scan could help.
