What does it mean when creatinine goes up, but bun goes down?

Progressive kidneydz: Irrespective of BUN if the creatinine goes up it indicates worsening kidney function. Consulting a Nephrologist will help.We call this as chronic kidney disease which can further progress to end stage kidney disease after few years/months.
