blood, urine test advice.

Mike Faraday

My recent blood test indicated Bun 28 Creatinine 1.0 Bun/Creatine 28.0

Urine test results for specific gravity
1.030 or greater

Protein, blood, glucose, nitrite urine test all negative.

My concern is the high bun and the high specific gravity, Is this something I should be
concerned about?

Advice Please.

No, it's a reflection of your hydration at the time you gave the urine specimen.

Looks like a simple case of dehydration.

What is your diet like? What OTC supplements are you taking? What is your fluid intake?

To all those asking about interpreting lab tests, you do not interpret lab tests in a vacuum. These
things are "always" interpreted within a clinical context. Why was the lab test ordered? I have seen
people with perfectly good normal lab results on people who have just died. I have seen very
abnormal results on completely normal people (artifact) and have seen everything else in between. It
is not like reading tea leaves where you walk in with these things and then ask what do they tell.
There are many clinical conditions in which very small minute changes may be significant so changes
of your own results over time may be more significant then simply one result evaluated in relation
to the general population.

HIGH BUN readngs usually are due to dehydration...If re-thinking your WATER

unput does not help...then a chemical IM-balance may exist. Remember also that TOO MUCH water
can also setup erroneous chemistry depending on the ambient temeratures in which you live, The
recommended amounts, depending on WEIGHT and Body mass are usually 32 ounces MINIMUM for every
100 lbs. Adjust as needed. TRY to drink GOOD CLEAN water as afforded by a CULLIGAN SYSTEM found
in every WALL-MART Store. Plastic containers are available from 1 to 5 gallon sizes. At 25 cents
a gallon..one can hardley afford NOT to drink decent NON CHLORINATED water, Our generally PCB
tainted and FLOURIDE ruined water from the tap is and always has been dangerous. Most healthy
folks up to about 3 quarts a day Nominal. Anything above this can leach minerals from the body!
Always take something SOLID with MOST water. OR drink more during the HEAT of SUMMER. as your
body evaporates more then. Frequent Urination can also be a problem and should be looked at by a
BUN test. The PHONY Type 2 diabetes is quite prevalent and should NOT be as it is a result of
ERRONOUS DIETS. As said above...KOSHER (BALANCE) is the answer. DO NOT EAT STARCH AND MEAT
together! PERIOD! Either goes with Carb's (veggies) but NOT mixed as in the UBIQUITOUS "HAMMY
BUGGERS" sold by MacDonalds and similar Garbage scows. B-0b1
