Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 21 month old grandaughter s BUN is high. I m also told her electrolytes were off too. What could the reason be for this? These test were taken several months ago and her doctor failed to contact her parents. Her soft spot has not closed either and is smaller than most children her age.
Why the test was ordered then? For a clear idea, we need more details, like any symptoms present, reports of other tests like serum creatinine, electrolytes and urine microscopy. High BUN usually suggests renal dysfunction. Kindly get back with details or discuss with your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
