A member asked:
Is it possible to have high creatinine, high blood urea nitrogen and high potassium levels simultaneously?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: High creatinine and BUN occur in poor kidney function. High potassium levels can occur when kidney function is poor because kidney cannot get rid of potassium.

Absolutely yes: This is exactly what is seen with kidney (renal) failure. I am not making a diagnosis on this information alone. I can only advise strongly that anyone with elevation in bun, cr and potassium, as listed above, should see his/her physician immediately.

BUN/creatinine level is 54.7**??? urea nitrogen is 29, creatinine is 0.53, eGFR is 128, potassium is 4.4. Cause for concern? I literally cannot find anything anywhere about a BUN/creatinine level that high.
My blood work came back and everything is in the green except for my BUN/CREATININE (34) and my Urea Nitrogen(27 mg.) levels are high. My red blood cell count is low at 3.66L. I was just wondering what this could mean?
