Has anyone in having lab panel/blood tests,

Had a result of low CREATINE and high BUN?

If so, what followed?

@katie1859 , my mom had this at one point in her life. She was told that she needed to drink water/more liquids. She hardly ever drank anything, except a little with her meals.

Her labs improved as she took in liquids.

There could be any number of reasons? Did your doctor talk to you about the results or did you get them from the patient portal?

You and your doctor will become good friends until this is solved. Don't fret too much yet.

I am on a Rx that can harm kidneys and am tested every six months. So far all is good. Someday I may have to choose what I want to keep.

Please be very, very clear about all Rx and supplements to the doctor.

You can Google it or follow up with your physician.

Have not spoken to my PCP yet

Waiting on one more test results

I had a urine draw as well, came back fully hydrated

I drink a ton of water all day

At times I pee like a race horse

Not fretting but as it has never come up curious what would be the draw for it.

The remaining test is for lead, as my municipal district sent out warnings

So I'm being tested. We shall see on that.

I presume nothing but realize at 64 things are changing. Part of it I can control

and others I can't.

Drink more fluids and lower your protein intake.

While drinking more fluids, that will lower creatinine even more so you don't want to over do the water intake which can also dilute out your electrolytes.

High protein diets can cause high BUN. If you do the protein shakes and powders then cut back on those.
