Forget it: The formulas used to estimate kidney function from spot creatinines are actually anti-scientific. They include an adjustment for race "because black people are more muscular." Creatinine where you have it is fine. Be glad for good health and ignore this stuff

45, Female. Can you interpret these numbers for me. BUN 22, Serum Creatinine is 1.17, EGFR is 56, Chloride is 108, AG ratio is 2.3. Can dehydration cause the elevation in the numbers or should I be concerned about my kidney function?
I had one more quick question. If bun 25, creatinine 1.5, bun/creat ratio 17, egfr 58...The egfr means im in stage 3 CKD right? 58% kidney function?
