Question 3

My creatinine level is 0.8 mg/dl and urea is 21 mg/dl. Can you help me calculate my BUN/creatinine ratio and explain what it means for my health?

Accepted Answer

Your BUN/Creatinine ratio can be calculated by dividing the BUN value by the creatinine value. In your case, the BUN/Creatinine ratio is 21/0.8, which equals 26.25. A normal BUN/Creatinine ratio is typically between 10:1 and 20:1. A ratio higher than this range may indicate dehydration, gastrointestinal bleeding, or a diet high in protein. A ratio lower than this range may indicate liver disease or malnutrition. In your case, with a BUN/Creatinine ratio of 26.25, it is slightly higher than the normal range. This could be due to dehydration or a high-protein diet. It is important to stay hydrated and consider adjusting your diet if necessary.
