High urea levels in blood work?

[Purple]

My friend has just had his blood work done and all is ok, only his urea levels are elevated - 8.8 with the upperlimit being 7.4. The dic says it is not good, but I think he is against bodybuilding in general.

We have just finished dieting for a comp. +/- 4 weeks ago and are still eating high protein diets. (350-400g p/d) Is there anything to be concerned about? Kidney damage? Should he wait until hitting the next course.

Tell him to drink a lot of water. It'll help flush the urea out. Urea is toxic to all organs especially the kidneys. Drink Drink DRINK!
