What Does The Lab Result Regarding Kidney Indicate?

My lab results just came back with several tests on the abnormal or high side. My BUN is 28, Creatinine Serum is 2.13, egfr if NonAfricanAm 25 low, Alkaline Phosphatase, S 193 High, WBC Esterase 2+ abnormal! occult blood is 1+ abnormal! WBC is 6-10 abnormal and RBC is 3-10 abnormal. I am seeing a kidney specialist, but my appt. is not until July 1st. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!!

Hi Thanks for writing
First of all i would want to know whether you have any preexisting condition such diabetes or high blood pressure. Long standing diabetes and blood pressure can cause kidney damage. Another common cause of kidney damage is long term intake of pain killers. If these conditions are not there then you need an US of the kidneys to further delineate the cause of your kidney dysfunction.The other values in the urine report do not bother me as much as your creatinine report of 2.1. eGFR is basically a value derived from age, creatinine, gender and race.
I will be glad to take any queries from you.
