Welcome @judithcullumber, This article lists some of the common medications that can affect the Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Test --- https://www.healthline.com/health/bun. It also says that high or low protein intake may affect the test. This is really a question you should ask your healthcare provider.

This is an area of concern that I cannot seem to get any help from any doctor on. My Bun levels have been high for nearly 6 years now and every doctor I see just says its normal. How is a bun level normal at 23? I am not dehydrated, dont have burns or on anything other than a AED that may or may not be the cause. My kidneys are bothering me, but every doctor I see, says its normal. Please explain how this is normal?
