What can cause to have bun/creatinin ratio elevated. my test resul bun 18 norma 6-20, creatinin 0.63 norma0.57-1 and bun/creat ratio 29 norm 35-155?

If both your: BUN and creatinine are normal, ratio is probably not meaningful number. Ask your doctor who ordered the tests, but I am not concerned too much.
