Fasting is not required. To do accurate tests, they would need to be hand verified (analyzed), or sent to a lab with more better, hi-grade equipment. Re-tests are needed to see if the levels are moving dramatically.

Since the other #'s are normal ... a re-test should ideally show more normal BUN level. I can't say this enough ... re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test, re-test.
