Normal upper limits: Why is your bun/creatinine being checked so often? They are at the upper limits of normal for an "aging male" and do not suggest kidney failure. Good luck.

I'm puzzled.: Has there been something said that makes you think you are at risk for kidney failure? I'm not seeing this from your labs. The creatinine (a breakdown product from muscle and eliminated by the kidney) is a little generous - but it's not increasing. That's what you would typically see in kidney disease. I'm curious as to the number of tests you've had; make an appt with your doctor to clarify this.
