B/C ratio

Is there a connection between prostate cancer and BUN/Creatinine ratio? Mine almost doubled in the last three months. Couldn't find anything out from Doctor Google :)

Thanks.

Mr Spitfire. I don't know in the direct way you are requesting, but I can tell you if one or more of your lymph nodes crushes a ureter, egfr and creatinine will be impacted. My egfr went from 90 to 45, in effect losing half a kidney. Best.

Is there any indication that any treatments you received may have caused nephrosis?(kidney backup or reduced function usually caused by lesions or scarring) What is your GFR? Are you drinking enough water?

GFR is 92. Water intake certainly below average. I have another blood draw in November. Will increase H2O and see what happens. Thanks.

Don't forget, make sure the water you drink is wet.......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
