A member asked:
Male 70, urea nitrogen test bun : high- 30, creatine test low- .72 bun/creatine ratio- 42 serious kidney problem ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High BUN is only relevant to kidney function when creatinine is high at the same time. Two common causes of high BUN with normal creatinine: mild dehydration and poor heart function. The other possibilities are high protein intake in the previous day before test or taking corticosteroids.
