Does the ketogenic diet or metformin or statins raise bun levels? i also lost 30lbs + and been on meds since april and havent been drinking enough water and eat 80-110g of protein and under 14g of net carbs and 8-30g total carbs a day?

Ketogenic means that which is produced after protein breakdown after ingestion. Yes Bun goes up but noemal kidney function can handle it. Remember too much of a good thing is not necessarily a good thing. Best is normal contolled diet and exercise. Good luck.
