including acute renal failure, chronic kidney disease, and glomerulonephritis, where the kidneys' filtering function is compromised. Dehydration is another reason that can lead to a high BUN-to-creatinine ratio as the kidneys conserve water, resulting in decreased urine output...
Kidney infections like glomerulonephritis, bacteriuria, and pyelonephritis can be discovered through urinalysis. So can atheroembolic renal disease, which occurs when cholesterol and other tiny bits of fat spread into the kidney’s small blood vessels. Kidney problems due to excess protein in the urine...

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. ...

Kidney Function Test Values: BUN and Creatinine from Chapter 20 / Lesson 6 30K BUN and creatinine are two important test values to determine kidney function. Understand the importance of the kidneys and examine blood urea nitrogen, BUN and the liver, BUN and the kidneys, and serum creatinine...
