I have a bun/creatinine ratio of 7.5 down from a 9. my creatinine is 1.32. it was a 1.1 two weeks ago. i've been on a self-imposed plant-based diet the last two weeks. my bp is ok at 119/81. can you explain exactly what is going on?

Low ratio: Your low bun to creatinine ratio may be due to low protein content of your diet. Your creatinine is mildly elevated. If you haven't had one already, I recommend that you have a urinalysis with a microscopic examination of the urinary sediment to see if you're losing protein and also a measurement of your serum albumin which is the important protein in your body. ? See a nephrologist as needed

I have a BUN/Creatinine ratio of 7.5 down from a 9. My creatinine is 1.32. It was a 1.1 two weeks ago. I've been on a self-imposed plant-based diet the last two weeks. I got constipated, I think I went too extreme. My Albumin/Creatinine ratio is 3.5
BUN 28, creatinine 1.04, BUN/Cr ratio 27. Im on high protein diet. Could diet be the cause of high BUN? All other blood and urine tests normal, eGFR normal?
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?
Elevated BUN & bun/creatinine ratio but normal creatinine. Is this indicative of kidney failure or just high protein diet?Should cystatin-c be checked
