A high blood urea may relate to reduced kidney function, dehydration, or a high-protein intake. A high BUN may relate to reduced kidney function, dehydration, or a high-protein intake. A high creatinine may suggest reduced kidney function and is interpreted alongside eGFR. These are general associations, not a diagnosis — discuss your report with your doctor.
A low blood urea may relate to low protein intake or liver factors and is usually not a concern. A low BUN is usually not a concern. A low creatinine often relates to low muscle mass and is usually not a concern. A result outside the reference range should always be interpreted by your doctor in context.
