No, it is not bad. A BUN of 25 is mildly elevated. You should drink an extra glass of fluid/s daily, this may be useful to do. As long as your creatinine level is normal, your Kidney function is good. So nothing to worry about there.

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,there is nothing to worry about your results. Drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless. Wish you good health!
