A member asked:

Bun/creatinine ratio 23 what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

BUN-creatinine ratio: The BUN (b)-creatinine (c) ratio is the association with b and c. If your b/c was 20, you would have a b of 20 and a c of 1 in your blood. In your case, you could have had a b of 23 and a c of 1.
