You have AMAZINGLY PERFECT handwriting! Sadly, my Mom had stage 2 CKD. She had SCD w/ beta Thalassemia and oddly, HBP! She recently died from Acute Liver Failure at age 78! I think the meds added to her problem with her kidneys and heart and ultimately…liver failure!

I had some blood labs done a week after some pain i thought might be kidney stones (i could hardly walk for a day).

My BUN was 29 and BUN/Creatinine was 32. My doctor said all other kidney markers were within normal ranges and similar to past results so she wasn't too concerned.

I have been eating alot of almonds/nuts and dark chocolate lately so that might have been the reason.

Thank you for this informative video. What is the ratio of creatinine and bun? Specifically, is BUN level of 87 mg/dL natural when creatinine is 3.4 mg/dL?

How does exercising contribute to high creatinine levels in the serum

[TRDPro]

Great video. I weight train 4-5 times a week and often fluctuate 10-15 pounds seasonally depending on training goals, diet, etc. but am typically ~18% BF. My creatinine has historically been around 1.29-1.3. eGFR and everything else is normal, other than high liver enzymes depending on when I tested in relation to my recent workouts. Most docs seem to panic about my kidney and liver levels but it never seems that is taken into account my exercise or body type. How high of creatinine is actually worrysome in someone with more muscle and consistent hypertrophy than the average person?

I keep having a bloated feeling when I drink more fluid . Can you please tell me what is going on with me??? When I see my doctor again in August I have some questions. I am upset that my Bon/Creatinine Ratio went slightly high. Then I am always swollen I am big and tubby. I'm sick of looking at myself like this. I'm sick of seeing these people that are the lucky ones. That continue to eat and drink what they want. Then the rest of us have to suffer with problems like this. My best friend died from end stage kidney failure. As much as I miss her I don't to follow in her footsteps. She had to be on dialysis before she died. It kept making her sick. That is why I am upset my Bon/Creatinine Ratio is slightly high. Just from last year it went from 21 to 35. I wasn't happy about my results I am disappointed. So I will be asking my doctor a lot of questions???

I had high bun and creatinine levels. I thought it was my creatine monohydrate I was taking. I stopped taking that and my levels were still high. Did not improve at all. I work out 6 days a week. Hard weight training. Am I just working out too mich?

[mybabygirl]

I am a bit confused. When you said that lower creatinine was due to Lean Muscle Mass? Do you mean low lean muscle mass? My Creatinine has been below 0.45 for the last few years. What can I do to increase my creatinine levels?

[jessiemonny]

For single kidney..what is normal creatinine level

[danieloliver]

What happens if you have high bun/ creatine ratio 26 and a low creatine .68. Thank you
