A member asked:

Metabolic panel blood work taken. all normal except bun. 10-20 mg/dl normal mine 22 mg/dl. wht this mean? sd i hv tests takn. if so what doc sd i c?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A 22 BUN is nothing: to worry about. It means you may have been very sl dehydrated before the blood work was taken. It is only 2 points above normal. I would have it repeated in 6 months and make sure it is not rising-that could mean kidney trouble.
