Bun/Creat “high”: We are all dying. ;-) But you are not going to die based in this lab test for a long time is my guess. Most likely you were dehydrated when blood drawn. Cause BUN to go up more than creat. Go to uptodate.com and read more. The best way to predict how long you will live is to look at your family history and your blood pressure now. Do not smoke, keep BMI < 25. Long life! Discuss with ur team.

My sodium levels are consistently in the lower 130s. Last time, 132. Doctors say my heart and kidneys are fine, though my Cl is 94, BUN is 7, and creatinine is 0.5. Everything else is within normal range. What could be causing my low Na levels?
