A member asked:
Neurogenic bladder. can bun 74 creatinine 2.5 values improve with b12? it went down to 44/1.5. does the ratio indicate azotemia or urinary retention?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Renal impairment: While those values suggest dehydration, you could have more than just a bladder problem such as poorly functioning kidneys (renal impairment). Ask you doctor if referral to a urologist is appropriate - sounds like it is. Hope this helps!
