Just the facts ma'am!

The medical saga continues.....I'm working on a post with reflections, but, for those of you who look for the numbers ... the BUN is lower (yay) along with the Creatinine.

In 2004 I was in the neighborhood of BUN 35 and Creatinine 2.7. The alarm sounded from the Duke side when the BUN registered 46 and Creatinine 3.1. Mid-July numbers down to BUN 36 Creatinine 3.0 ...more like in 2004.

"Normal" BUN is a problem to identify - ranges of "normal" are 5-26 but "normal" depends on a lot of factors. Same with Creatinine.

My judgement says that it looks probable that I'll have a biopsy of the prostate too...numbers down but not much 4.0 down to 3.5 +/-


Coming soon - A niche of my own - commentary!
