A member asked:

My 4 year old son has a bun/creat ratio of 27. is that really high?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends on health: Some of the more common causes of an elevated bun/cr ratio are: dehydration, GI bleeding, increased protein intake, small amount of muscle mass, increased muscle breakdown. If he appears ill or has other symptoms have him evaluated.
