A mildly low BUN is not usually serious. Could be due to overhydration or low protein diet. No specific treatment needed if kidney function is otherwise normal. Please do the required kidney function panel to confirm.

What does PPA stand for?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been experiencing lower back pain since Monday which has become progressively worse. I have also been drinking excessive amounts of water about one pint every one and a half hours or less. I have a lack of appetite and feel full most of the time. I visited my GP and they checked my urine and blood pressure which were normal. I am going for blood tests on Monday and will wait for the results. Do you know what could be causing these symptoms? Thank you Jack.
