BUN 52 is much higher than the normal level, and it means the kidneys have been damaged severely with low kidney function. In this condition, there will be lots of toxins and wastes building up in blood, which can be very dangerous for patients. So PKD patients need to take effective treatment to lower the high BUN 52 and repair their kidney damage.
