What Causes Elevated BUN And Creatinine Levels?
I recently was told my BUN and creative levels were too high. Bun was 39 and creative was 3.0. Several months ago I had pneumonia and was given a shot of antibotics and a shot of steroids. Before the illness my blood levels were in the normal zone. I have type 2 dibetes but that is under control with no meds. Could any of this cause my blood levels to change.

Drug induced Renal damage can lead elevated creatinine
Acromegaly like disorder and high consumption of meat can lead high creatinine level
Clinical correlation is necessary and regular follow up done
Measure your blood pressure level also as hypertension can also affect kidney...
Consult physician or nephrologst for examination and if needed biopsy can be done
