See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, you may take protein supplements available at pharmacy or other stores like Costco.

I'm a 24yo, 128lbs female. I exercise 45-90 minutes/day and eat a high protein(~200g/day) and high fiber(~50g/day) diet. My recent metabolic panel reports high BUN(24), high BUN/creatinine ratio(28) and high ALT(35). Could this be from high protein?
