A member asked:
My urea nitrogen is 67.53mg/dl. what is cause , effect and remedy for this?

That is high...: BUN at 67.53 mg/dl alone indicates something wrong in the function of kidney because it's uncommon to raise to this level from dehydration or internal bleeding or excessive nitrogen intake. So, look into serum creatinine, electrolytes, etc. so to correlate with overall clinical pictures and deduce the realistic clinical significance. Hence, see & ask Doc for detail and specifics.

What is the most likely reason for having an abnormally high blood urea nitrogen level?
I have gallstones, was having some pain, and not feeling to well. Also pain in back lower right side. My blood work shows CREATININE 1.11, BUN/CREATININE RATIO 23, UREA NITROGEN (BUN) 26. Everything else was normal. What could cause this?
BUN/creatinine level is 54.7**??? urea nitrogen is 29, creatinine is 0.53, eGFR is 128, potassium is 4.4. Cause for concern? I literally cannot find anything anywhere about a BUN/creatinine level that high.
