Were the BUN levels elevated? Or was it just Creatinine? And did you have a urinalysis with specific gravity performed?
And was she fasted before hand?
One of my kittens recently bloodwork done and showed slightly elevated Creatinine, but BUN and all other values were normal. We ran a urinalysis including a specific gravity since this is really really important to show kidney function. We ran another blood profile a few hours later and everything came back perfect including the Creatinine, so the vet believes it was just a result of digestion.

Just so you know raw fed pets can have slightly elevated bloodvalues. In addition its important, before you worry too much I would ask to get your cat's specific gravity tested. This test shows if the kidneys are concentrating the urine properly.
