Renal problems surface in various forms — urinary tract infections, bladder stones, struvite stones,
High BUN levels!
He had two blood vet scan test ran and both times had
high BUN levels.
Not exact matches
He also had extremely
high levels of creatinine (a by - product of the breakdown of phosphocreatine, an energy - storage molecule in muscle) normally eliminated by the kidneys and extremely elevated
levels of
BUN (blood urea nitrogen), which measures the amount of the waste product urea (a by - product of protein digestion).
The more protein that is consumed, the
higher the
levels of
BUN and creatinine in the blood, which are the prime indicators of kidney disease in dogs.
When these
levels are
high, they're usually exhibiting signs of
high BUN like vomiting, lethargy, lack of appetite, and ulcers.
High blood BUN levels indicate that there is a high proportion of waste products in the blood which haven't been excreted by the kidneys and an increase of protein in the urine may indicate kidney damage, infection, urinary stones among other causes; if you have concerns, speak with your Veterinarian or visit a different Veterinarian to check Moses over and to run the tests ag

I should probably add Duke's current
levels... as of 5/18/2017
BUN 39 (
HIGH) Creatinine 2.4 (
HIGH) Alb / glob ratio 0.6 (LOW) SDMA 19 (
HIGH) Albumin 2.2 (LOW) Lymphocyte 6105 (
HIGH)
Low urine specific gravity (urinalysis too dilute)
high levels of metabolic waste in the blood (elevated
BUN and Creatinine) and increased body acidity (metabolic acidosis) are also common in Addison's disease; but they also occur in many health problems not related to your pet's adrenal glands.
The dog's
BUN (blood urea nitrogen
level) was already at 32 (normal less than 27) and creatinine over 5 (1.9 is the
high end of normal).
Creatinine - determination is a more sensitive test for kidney disease then
BUN - determination because blood
levels of creatinine fluctuate less than urea nitrogen in response to a pet's being dehydrated or consuming a
high - protein meal.
Puppies often have elevated
BUN levels due to
high protein diets and can quickly develop rises in
BUN due to dehydration, since they are more prone to this problem than adult dogs.
Blood work may reveal your cat has low potassium
levels,
high phosphorus
levels, and very
high BUN and creatinine
levels.
BUN is excreted by the kidneys and if they are not functioning properly, the
BUN level in the blood will be
high.
