About BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test in Wilmette
The BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test measures the relationship between blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, two substances filtered by the kidneys.
Blood urea nitrogen is a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein, while creatinine is a waste product from normal muscle metabolism. Both are normally removed from the blood by the kidneys and excreted in urine.
Because BUN and creatinine are filtered at different rates and can be influenced by different factors, comparing them as a ratio gives clinicians additional information beyond either value alone. A high or low ratio can point toward specific patterns of kidney dysfunction, dehydration, gastrointestinal bleeding, or other conditions.
The test is typically ordered alongside other laboratory studies to provide a more complete picture of kidney health and overall metabolic status. Results are interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of the patient's history, symptoms, and other test findings.
