A member asked:
What means an elevated bun to creatinine ratio of 24 if both bun and creatinine are individually normal? bun: 17.7, creat: 0,75. take many fluids.txs

Elevated ratio: Hi Oskcar. You lab levels are normal and your ratio is high due to your low creatinine level. If you had a high BUN-creatinine ratio that was abnormal due to dehydration, your serum sodium and chloride would be high. You did not mention those values in your test results. Were they elevated? If not, you need not worry, if they were, ingest more fluids to reduce them and lower your ratio.
