Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Yup, my husband is an engineer, too -- mechanical engineer and graduate of Cornell. One of his brothers is an ophthalmologist and the other has his PhD in rural sociology. My husband can go months without calling either brother (both parents are deceased.) I tend to " orchestrate " even the get-togethers he has with friends! He enjoyed seeing his frat. Brothers at his 25th college reunion, but I was the one that had to send the emails to get it rolling! Meg of Mentor, Ohio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I read all vegetable protein is fine, but, just be oh so careful with the animal protein I have my son on about 30 gm of protein no more. This is to keep down ammonia and any toxins from the red meat sherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Connie Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN): which is removed by the kidney. The kidney continually filters urea from the blood, excreting it in the urine. Many Americans carry high levels of protein breakdown products in their blood, primarily because of their high protein diet, particularly animal protein. Healthier low-protein nutrition characteristically lowers the urea nitrogen circulating in the blood. BUN/CREAT Ratio: This ratio is another index of kidney function. If the BUN falls, the ratio of BUN/creatinine will reduce as well. Therefore, a lower BUN/creatinine ratio represents healthier kidney function at a reduced level of toxic protein products in the blood.

Date: Sat May 6, 2006 9:32pm(PDT) Subject: (no subject) Does anyone know what the blood test for BUN/CREAT RATIO actually is for. Mine was at 6 and the range is 8-36. I thought it had something to do with the Kidneys, I have to go back to the DR on Wednesday and he wants to talk to me about it. Please let me know.
