Hi. First off, don't assume anything about your kidneys. A liver issue can cause those BUN results, too. "Twinges" in one's back are common, and people often blame their kidneys incorrectly. This is going to have to be something your doctor sorts out for you.

Oh, the vampire myths that still won't die.
- High protein diets, at worst, make the kidneys work a bit. They do not cause kidney disease any more than cardio exercise causes heart disease.
- LC diets are not high protein, anyway, so it's moot point.
OTOH, grains cause all kinds of other forms of stress on the organs such as high blood sugars, inflammation, and auto-immune reactions. Bad idea.

Also in the in CBC 4 of the categories are out, 2 are out 2 points and 2 are out 1 point, does anyone know if that matters?

It might matter, but it entirely depends on which tests are out, and how much "2 points" and "1 point" are worth. You have to look at the statistical significance, ie the size of the reference range. For example, I was flagged for three oddities on my last CBC, but they're not significant because in one example, the reference range is 27.5-33.0 pg, and my result was 33.1. So obviously, that's not a big deal, and if they tested me again the next day, it would probably be different.
If your WBCs are high, I'd take a wild guess at an infection. But of course, IANAD.
HTH.
