A member asked:
I had bloodwork done on tuesday that came back with a bun/creatinine ratio of 23. all other tests were normal. on wednesday night i had a kidney stone attack. would that have raised my ratio?

Dehydration: Classically an increased BUN/Creat ratio reflects dehyration, which may also go along with kidney stones. Drinking water as a habit may help. Also always try to catch stones in urine for analysis.

A member asked:
Do I still need to do x ray for detecting kidney disease if I have already done ultrasound for kidney? The Ultrasound shows no kidney stones or tumors, nothing. The creatinine and uric acid test results are also normal. Is x-ray needed in this case?
