A member asked:
How long after taking prednisone (was on for about 3 weeks, tapered properly) should it take for the bun to return to an accurate reading.. i am being monitored for kidney failure, but don't want to start on dialysis until actually needed?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. You appear to be under the care of a doctor and It would be prudent to discuss your concern with your doctor who knows more about your health and has examined you. Wish you good health!
