BUN/Creatinine Ratio
What It Means
Compares BUN to creatinine to show how hydration, protein metabolism, and kidney filtration interact.
Why It Matters
Adds context when BUN or creatinine alone doesn’t tell the full story, helping clarify fluid balance and metabolic load.
Why It Matters
Most insightful when considered alongside individual BUN and creatinine values, highlighting whether shifts relate more to hydration or metabolic processing.
