A member asked:
My bun/creat ratio is 24.4- should i be concerned ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Ideally, this number should be around 10. When it's mildly elevated, that means you are mildly dehydrated usually. This can happen just from the fast before getting blood work done. But as long as your BUN and creatinine themselves are normal, the ratio doesn't really mean much.
