What is the BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test?
The BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test compares the levels of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine in the blood. Since both are waste products filtered by the kidneys, their ratio provides valuable information about kidney health, hydration status, and whether kidney dysfunction is due to reduced blood flow, dehydration, or intrinsic kidney disease.
Who should take this test?
- Individuals with suspected kidney disease.
- Patients with dehydration or fluid imbalance.
- People with abnormal Kidney Function Test (KFT) results.
- Patients with high blood pressure or diabetes.
- Individuals with symptoms such as swelling, fatigue, or reduced urine output.
- Doctor-advised monitoring of renal function.
