Elevated bun & bun/creatinine ratio but normal creatinine. is this indicative of kidney failure or just high protein diet?should cystatin-c be checked

Renal function : BUN can be elevated by a number of things including high protein diet. Your creatinine is indicative of renal function. You are in good shape. Good Luck
