Kidney BUN is at 45 and Creatinine 4.3, What does This Mean
"Hi, the lab results of my blood work showed my BUN level is 45, and creatinine is 4.3. I was wondering what those elevated levels could mean? Thanks!"
Answer: BUN and creatinine tests are performed to measure kidney function, filtration and overall organ health. Normally, most of urea and creatinine are removed from the bloodstream by the kidneys. When the kidneys aren't functioning as well as they should, these substances will build up in the blood, causing elevated levels in these tests. So, your BUN 45 and creatinine 4.3 may indicate severe kidney problem.
Hopefully you will get the exact answer from your doctor soon, but just let you know, your BUN and creatinine levels are extremely high. The average person with healthy kidneys has a blood urea nitrogen 10-20 and creatinine 0.5-1.2. Each 0.3 that the creatinine goes up signifies a percentage of kidney function that you have lost. So, as you can see, your levels are already very high. Generally, that means that you have lost a lot of kidney function and may be at Stage 3 CKD.
