A member asked:
What is a bun/creatinine ratio? how is it calculated and if mine is 22 but my other levels are fine what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What are the actual: Numbers? BUN number divided by creatinine number. Normal range is 10-20. 22 may not be abnormal if individual levels of BUN and creatinine are normal. Discuss the numbers with your doctor at the next visit.
