A member asked:
What can low bun and creatinine indicate when you 21 yrs old?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Low cr may be completely normal in a young patient and indicates good kidney function. Other causes of low serum cr are low muscle mass, which can occur in very small stature people, advanced age, bed bound individuals, and in patients with cirrhosis. Low BUN can be caused by poor nutrition or increased fluid intake.
