A member asked:
What causes the creatinine (1.26) to be elevated and the bun to be normal (16)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need to retest: 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. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the set of findings you presented needs to be verified. Talk to your doctor about repeating the test. Drink a couple of glasses of water on the morning of the test.
