BUN/Creatinine Ratio

Overview of BUN/Creatinine Ratio Blood Test
The BUN/Creatinine ratio blood test is a diagnostic tool used to assess kidney function and detect potential renal issues. It measures the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine, providing valuable insight into how well your kidneys are working.

Purpose of the Test
This test helps identify acute or chronic kidney disease or kidney damage. It is also used in evaluating other conditions such as gastrointestinal bleeding or physical trauma that may affect kidney function.

When Is the Test Recommended?
The BUN/Creatinine ratio test is often ordered when a person shows symptoms of kidney dysfunction, such as swelling, fatigue, or changes in urine output. It is also useful in monitoring existing renal conditions and assessing the impact of medications or treatments.
