All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not a cause for concern. Wish you good health!

How much water should I drink before blood draw? My bloodwork is always perfect except for BUN/Creatinine ratio. Just a tick over normal every time. Dr says because of dehydration. I try to drink 16 oz prior. Not enough??
I got some blood work done and my GFR was only 68. My BUN/creatinine was 9.6 which Ive read is normal. Im only 20 years old and that 68 seems way too loware my kidneys ok? I take a lot of NSAIDS for chronic pain and dont drink enough water?
BUN 28, creatinine 1.04, BUN/Cr ratio 27. Im on high protein diet. Could diet be the cause of high BUN? All other blood and urine tests normal, eGFR normal?
I am 73 years old. My recent blood test results indicate BUN of 29 and Creatinine of .87. A BUN/Creatinine ratio of 33. I had not had anything to drink for around 13-14 hours before the test. Is there a concern here with the high BUN and ratio?
I have elevated blood creatinine (1.34 mg/dL) and all other tests lie in normal range (blood albumin&protein, spot urine ACR, kidney USG, BUN, Urea, U. Acid). I used to lift heavy weights but quit. I always had elevated creatinine. Something to worry?
