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?
