Question 1

what is the cause of high bun creatinine ratio in children?

Accepted Answer

BUN/Cr Ratio: The most common cause of a high blood urea nitrogen (BUN) to creatinine ratio is dehydration. A ratio over 20 indicates low intravascular volume. The BUN can also be elevated in people with a high muscle mass.

Question 2

what is the cause of high bun ana globulin ?

Accepted Answer

See below: There is not enough room here to list all the causes of these values to be evaluated. What we need to know in order to best answer this question is what symptoms were you having for your doctor to order this blood work.

Question 3

bun 28, creatinine 1.04, bun/cr ratio 27. im on high protein diet. could diet be the cause of high bun? all other blood and urine tests normal, egfr normal?

Accepted Answer

: These are normal results, and yes, high protein diet could contribute. Creatinine is the more important indication of kidney function, not BUN. Nothing to worry about.

Question 4

what's the causes of a high bun/creatinine ratio? (most current bun 45 with normal creatinine 1.00. bun has been rising for a month. i have pretty serious complicated medical conditions including a pancreas and kidney transplant done at different tim

Accepted Answer

Elevated BUN/creat: Probably nothing serious , just dehydration/ not drinking enough fluids, but with your complicated issues, call your Nephrologist for more detailed answer and possible further labs or evaluation.

Question 5

can a small cyst in my kidney cause a high level of bun & bun creatinine ratio?

Accepted Answer

: No. A single cyst in the kidney would not alter kidney function. Solitary cysts are quite common.
If you your BUN and creatinine are abnormal if would be prudent to see a kidney doctor/nephrologist.
Wish you good health!

Question 6

what can cause to have bun/creatinin ratio elevated. my test resul bun 18 norma 6-20, creatinin 0.63 norma0.57-1 and bun/creat ratio 29 norm 35-155?

Accepted Answer

If both your: BUN and creatinine are normal, ratio is probably not meaningful number.  Ask your doctor who ordered the tests, but I am not concerned too much.

Question 7

what causes glucose, bun and creatine numbers to be high?

Accepted Answer

Different things: Glucose high mean high blood sugar depend on if it was fasting or not or how high it could mean you might be diabetic
bun and creatinine are the kidney blood test  if they are abnormal either you are dehydrated or you could be having kidney problem
the combination of all together if you are diabetic and you are having kidney problem could  be a red flag for something serious check with your doctor.

Question 8

what causes the creatinine (1.26) to be elevated and the bun to be normal (16)?

Accepted Answer

Need to retest:  All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, the set of findings you presented needs to be verified.  Talk to your doctor about repeating the test. Drink a couple of glasses of water on the morning of the test.

Question 9

bun creatinine high in fasting blood work. what are the causes?

Accepted Answer

BUN and creatinine: If you have high BUN and creatinine levels, you may be dehydrated or you may have chronic kidney disease. Ask the physician who ordered the blood test for an opinion as to the cause of the high levels in the blood. The physician knows the patient best and can give a more meaningful answer to your question. Good luck.

Question 10

chol/hdlc 530 h bun 7 l creatinne 0.67 l sedrate 39 h neutrophils 41 l could you please tell me what does it means and what causes these high and low?

Accepted Answer

530 would be: Quite high for a cholesterol.  "low" BUN and cr of no consequence, as is neutrophil of 41%.  Sed rate is a nonspecific measure of inflammation, immune, or infectious process. Without the clinical context it is hard to make any profound conclusions regarding these results except you need a cholesterol management plan.
