Means nothing: The ratio is listed as an aid in evaluating the very-sick. My BUN/creatinine ratio goes way up whenever I eat a big steak, and dropped when I was lifting weights and eating vegetables. I'm glad you're health-conscious and hope you'll give thanks that you're well.

Do not worry: A low ratio is nothing to worry about as long as your creatinine is below 1.0. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/creatinine/basics/results/PRC-20014534
