What Is Normal Range Of Bun In Blood Report?

I just received the results from routine blood work. My bun level is 26, I am a 27 year old female with no health concerns. I am a nursing mother of a 9 month old and wanted to know if I should concern myself with this finding. I am 5'5" and way about 157lbs.

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. BUN levels are within normal range. Some studies do put this value at a mild higher range.
2. Increased protein in diet along with reduced fluid intake could have contributed to mild increase.
3. Take plenty of fluids to improve hydration. Protein and nutritional supplements are necessary. Only if the value crosses 35g/DL, then its worrisome. Not to worry. Take care.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
