A member asked:

Can a small cyst in my kidney cause a high level of bun & bun creatinine ratio?

No. A single cyst in the kidney would not alter kidney function. Solitary cysts are quite common. If you your BUN and creatinine are abnormal if would be prudent to see a kidney doctor/nephrologist. Wish you good health!

No, a small cyst would not be enough to impact your kidney function. Your ordering doc would be best to place your results in clinical context and make further recommendations.
