Re: very scared - kidney tests are back ...

[Guest guest]

no, they are really good levels. Actually normal.

Also, don't exercise 3 days prior to your blood being drawn for creatinine and

bun. Exercising can cause an increase in those levels. Also, drink good amounts

of water since if you drink pop/coffee and so on it can dehydrate you and

dehydration increases those levels too. I am referring to the creatinine and BUN

levels.
