    The answer to this question would be: azotemia

    In this patient, the blood urea nitrogen level is increased because the upper limit should be around 20mg/dl. This condition is called azotemia.

    Another condition that can be found is hyperkalemia and acidosis which was quite the opposite of the other options.
