A member asked:

6 weeks post op for hip arthroplasty. recent blood work shows bun, creatinine and bun/creatinine ratio on the lower end of ref. range and alkaline phosphatase on the higher end of ref. range. could these numbers be this way from recent surgery?

It's good to know that your kidney function remains well after hip arthroplasty (normal BUN, creatinine and BUN/creat). ALP varies a lot between lab so you should not worry as long as the number is still in normal range. Take care.
