High Creatinine with Low BUN/CREATININE ratio?

by socalh2oskier, Mar 26, 2009 09:52PM
Hi.  I recently had a blood test which showed a creatinine level of 3.3 (dangerously high), a BUN of 11, and a BUN/Creatinine ratio of 3.  What does the Bun/Creatinine level indicate?  Why is it so low, if the BUN reading alone seems to be in the normal range?  Does this suggest a problem in addition to the kidney problem indicated by the high Creatinine level?

Thank you,

Hi there...You creatinine is very high.  Did your doctor consult you on what he or she thinks.  Now my brother has high creatinine levels when he eats meats or other high protein foods.  Because it is so high I would make sure you speak with a health care professional.  Maybe they should run it again.
