BUN levels?
ad
got some bloodwork done and it came back at 29 (normal was 7-25)
was a little dehydrated and of course usually getting at least 200g of protein a day.
should I be worried?
Creatinine levels was .9 normal being .7-1.3
EGFR at 115

Id recommend a cystatin-c test next time. It's more accurate for kidney health.
Ranger3252You’re all good , my creatine normal is a shade below 2. I have confirmed depleted uranium poisoning, and I drink sometimes and run gear like a madman. No need to worry my friend. I see a nephrologist at one of the three most prestigious medical institutions in the United States. Trust me, when I say you have not a worry in the world!
Egfr of 115 is very good! Bun being high…dehydration, meds, oral steroids, intense workout, lots or protein. You can order bloodwork through https://vanguardperform.com/ It’s a fair price.
What are you running right now? Id retest after ensuring you’re hydrated and only worry if it still elevated. But don’t go crazy and drink way more water than you normally would and dilute the sample, and I wouldn’t lower your protein either. You want to see how your body is reacting based on your normal routine. It won’t tell you much if you lower protein for a day or two and chug a ton of water before the test.
Your EGFR is normal so that’s good. That’s a much better measure of kidney health. Dehydration and high protein intake are the top reasons for high BUN.
Just test 400 a week
Can't retake they only do this once every couple months
I wouldn’t sweat it. Just retest at your earliest availability.
sir this is a wendys
