Now, it IS possible that your diet can affect these numbers, especially if you've just eaten a lot of protein -- like a cheesburger. But how high were they? Ask the coctor what a normal reading is, and what your readings were. You may want to have the tests repeated after a 12-hour fast. <br><b>References : </b><br> As a nursing student, you need to learn that those are the two MAIN readings for kidney functions.

But how high were they? Ask the coctor what a normal reading is, and what your readings were. You may want to have the tests repeated after a 12-hour fast.

When you say you don't think you have diabetes, were you tested, did your doctor do a workup to determine why your Cr/BUN levels were high? You should also be checked for hypertension. This should be investigated. This may be an acute problem that can be reversed with timely treatment. <br><b>References : </b><br>12 years of nursing experience.
