Order BUN/Creatinine Ratio TestThe BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test compares two waste products in the blood to help assess how well the kidneys are filtering. Because the ratio reflects the balance between urea nitrogen and creatinine rather than either value alone, it can offer clues that a single measurement might miss.
About BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test in Layton
The BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test is a calculated blood measurement that pairs blood urea nitrogen with creatinine to evaluate kidney function and fluid status.
Blood urea nitrogen, or BUN, is a waste product formed when the body breaks down protein. Creatinine is a waste product generated by normal muscle activity. Both are normally cleared by the kidneys and excreted in urine.
The BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test divides the BUN value by the creatinine value to produce a ratio. This ratio helps distinguish whether an abnormal BUN or creatinine result stems from reduced kidney filtration, dehydration, increased protein breakdown, or other causes.
Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings. A ratio outside the expected range does not by itself confirm a specific diagnosis, and a normal ratio does not rule out every kidney or metabolic condition.
