You are awesome ninja nerd Best team platform on planet earth for gaining medical knowledge Thank you ninja nerd team

[@NinjaNerdNursing]

Thank you so much for saying that! 😊

[@KyleBuente]

Your target audience might be nursing students but you helped me understand some of the results from a recent blood test. And no worries I am not doing anything different unless my doctor tells me to. Just nice to understand what the bun is and what some of the related ratios mean. Thank you. And if I was a student you'd make it an easier concept to understand. You clearly know your stuff. 😊

Thank you so much for saying that! You are too kind!

CHF can also cause a high BUN

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!

May she rest in peace

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?

[@tomfisher44]

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.

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?

Does H.Pylori affect BUN do to urea?

[@usaearthling]

Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

How does exercising contribute to high creatinine levels in the serum

[@shwetakashyap6838]

More muscle breakdown...more creatinine.

[@joykerubo5924]

You are awesome 👍

What we see in animals is they are often very nauseous also

[@mybabygirl666]

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?

[@jessiemonny5092]

For single kidney..what is normal creatinine level

[@dylanflynn5846]

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?

[@jeffurraro217]

Hi,from what i read hard exercise can lead to higher levels

[@TRDPro1995]

I would think a urine test would be helpful. It would be normal to have higher levels in the blood stream with someone who consistently weight trains. I have high liver enzymes and creatinine levels. Also check you eGFR for kidney function.

[@043_yashwanthyadav3]

Do a cystatin c test

[@danieloliver6146]

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

[@Indiandoctors7]

5:51 why dehydration ??? its not urea honey😢

[@NinjaNerdNursing]

Thank you so much for commenting! I am not exactly sure what your comment is referring to, but I’ll try to explain. Serum creatinine is a by product of muscles and filtered by the kidney and then excreted in a persons urine. If a person is dehydrated, this can reduce renal perfusion leading to a reduced GFR which results in less excretion of urea and creatinine, resulting in increased serum creatinine and Urea (e.g. BUN) Keep on studying! You got this!

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???
