A member asked:

Does high bun creatinine mean kidney cancer? my 10 year old son has it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: There are many other more common reasons for a child to have a higher than normal bun/creatinine other than kidney cancer. Some of these include: dehydration, medications, infections, and urinary tract abnormalities. It is important to find out the cause of the impaired kidney function so that it can be treated.
