Please read my post carefully...

What I did say was some tests show out of range if you are dehydrated when they are done, during the fast.

Have the tests done again, and stay hydrated as best you can
and see what the results are. Also labs do make mistakes and retesting is common for that reason.

BUN is blood urea nitrogen, and is a separate test from Total Protein.

This may be elevated because of kidney issue or dehydration.Some drugs cause elevations too.

Total protein(blood):

I don't see a URINE test listed on this thread with results?
Proteins excreted in the urine often lead to LOW blood test results,
not higher or out of range high.

If you don't want to learn about these things, because the answers confuse or upset you, then you should not really ask the questions. The collective knowledge and experience here from all our posters is very large. You can take it or leave it as you desire.

If you believe you have sarcoidosis based on this one test, keep in mind it is not always mild in everyone. It can be devastating to some.
But you will need further testing to show if you really do have it.
