What Does The Following BUN Test Result Suggest?
My blood work came back with BUN at 34 and the creatinine, ser is 1.40: I keep hearing the doctor say there is a problem with the kidney, but no one will explain exactly what that means except I need to see a nephrologist with an appointment 2 months away. What are these numbers telling the doctor?

Normal level of BUN is 7-20 mg/dl and that of serum creat. is 0.8-1.4 in adult person. Your S. creat is normal but BUN is raised.As kidney function decreases BUN level rises.
