Just had a fasting blood draw in advance of my annual physical, and while my BUN is up a wee bit, my creatinine is down to 1.0! It's been 1.1 every time since before I donated! I'm not concerned about the BUN increase as I just turned 60 last month and the new number is still within "normal" range for those 60 and older. Woo hoo!
Unrelated directed kidney donor in 2003, my recipient and I are well!
654 time blood and platelet donor since 1976 and still giving!

Good news indeed! Congratulations!

wonderful news!

the higher BUN and normal creatinine suggests that you may be a little dehydrated. Always nice to hear from the veterans.
My last creatinine 11 years post donation (Dec 2018) was my lowest at .75. i think it was a bit lower than my pre donation of .80. my only lab that is off is vitamin D and PTH (parathyroid). I am working at correcting the vit D to very high end to 90 so that the PTH will go down. so my lone kidney filters well but does not compensate good enough to convert vit D. Seeing a very smart and caring endocrinologist.

Take care everyone.
