LiL MaMa replied to Cat's discussion 'Kidney lab test results: should I be worried??'"I agree w/fhs, dehydration can play a huge role in BUN and creatinine levels and ratios. Be sure to continue drinking much more water."
FHS replied to Cat's discussion 'Kidney lab test results: should I be worried??'"I wouldn't even worry about the eGFR. The "e" means that it's estimated using some type of calculator based on your serum creatinine levels. Here's an example of one found online:

Cat replied to Cat's discussion 'Kidney lab test results: should I be worried??'"Thank you everyone for your responses!

I couldn't talk appropriately (I knew what I wanted to say but the wrong words came out-…"
FHS replied to Cat's discussion 'Kidney lab test results: should I be worried??'"This is from a random spot urine sample?
The number to look at is your Microalbumin/creatinine ratio for indications of kidney problems. You have some microalbumin showing up in your urine but the levels are considered within the normal range. A…"
