Reducing BUN for Insurance Examiners

[Guest guest]

A month or so ago, I had an insurance exam and by BUN test (Blood Urea

Nitrogen ) was slightly elevated. The insurance wanted to charge me

more based upon that; I have decided to restest. Here's the think, I

suspect that the elevation is due to two things (1) larger consumption

of meat, and (2) My Olympic Weightlifting regimen.

Now, I am not really alarmed by this slightly elevated figure but I

would like to PLEASE the insurance examiners, so is there a way to

temporarily reduce this score? Would drastically reducing my meat

consumption do it? For how long...a week, longer?

Please give suggestions.

Thanks,

An elevated BUN on its own without an elevated creatinine usually

just indicates some level of dehydration. Are you drinking enough?

Was there protein in your urine? I think the insurance company is

trying to scam you unless you have other indicators of possible

kidney disease. Try drinking more water and non-caffeinated

beverages. Make sure your urine is almost clear next time they

test. I know it's a blood test, but the urine color should indicate

hydration. Hope this helps a little.

Aha, this could be the key. I often forget to drink

enough water. I let it slide. I will definitely

drink lots before my next test.

Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

-WB Yeats
