The ratio of BUN/creatinine is an indicator of kidney health. Typically, the ratio is between 10:1 and 20:1, with a slightly higher ratio in older adults. If theBUN/creatinine ratiois high, it may suggest a problem with the kidneys' ability to function correctly, a condition called renal...

The results showed thatβ 2 -MG, andU Alb determination in blood and urine were most sensitive indexes in patients with early damageof kidney function. Their clinical values were higher than that of BuN and CrKey words β 2 -microglobulin; urine albumin; blood urea nitrogen; creatinine; early...
CREATININE -Low levels are sometimes seen in kidney damage, protein starvation, liver disease or pregnancy. Elevated levels are sometimes seen in kidney disease due to the kidneys job of excreting creatinine, muscle degeneration, and some drugs involved in impairment of kidney function. ...

As a result, the level of circulating urea nitrogen and serum creatinine serves as a primary measure of kidney function. Average adult blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels should be between 7 and 21 mg urea nitrogen per 100 mL blood (mg/dL). Azotemia, poor kidney function, will cause elevated...
Urea production (in the liver) Urea breakdown, and Urea elimination (via the kidneys)Therefore, BUN is an indicator of kidney health and/or liver health.However, creatinine is a much more reliable marker of kidney function. BUN is far more likely to be affected by dietary and physiologic ...
Kidney Function Tests If your BUN levels are high, your doctor may order more tests to measure your kidney function. Creatinine test Acreatininetest is another blood test that checks your kidney health. You'd get it because the BUN level by itself doesn’t always reveal much. ...
