My wife's kidney profile tests came back mostly normal, but her Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) level was low at 5.9. Is this something to be concerned about? What could we do to get it within the normal range? Is it common for BUN to be low, or should we look into this further?

Can a urine dysmorphic RBC test really tell if the blood in my urine is coming from my kidneys or the urethra? I had results showing 1012 cellshpf in my urine, but when I did the test again 4 days later, it dropped to 12 cellshpf. Does this mean it was a false reading, or could the sample have been off? I'm a bit confused about what to make of these results.

Yes ideally Dysmorphic RBCs indicate renal problem,but in your case as it is an incidental finding for once and is not continuing you can ignore it,if you are woried visit Nephrologist for evaluation and appropriate management

I'm a bit anxious about my recent lab tests. I got both LFT and KFT done, and I'm really concerned about the creatinine and uric acid levels. My creatinine came back at 1.1, and my uric acid is at 7.2. I had chickenpox last December, so I'm wondering if those levels are okay or if I should be worried. What should I do next? I've attached my report for reference.
