The BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test compares two waste products in your blood to help assess kidney function and fluid balance. It is often ordered when kidney problems or dehydration are suspected.
What it measures
- BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen) — A waste product from protein breakdown that kidneys remove.
- Creatinine — A waste product from muscle activity that kidneys filter out.
- BUN/Creatinine Ratio — A calculated number comparing BUN to creatinine levels.
Who it is for
A clinician may order this test if you have symptoms of kidney issues, dehydration, or as part of a routine metabolic panel.
Preparation
No special preparation is usually needed. Fasting is not required unless other tests are ordered at the same time.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as numbers for BUN, creatinine, and their ratio. Your clinician interprets these in the context of your health. This is general information, not medical advice.
Requesting the BUN/Creatinine Ratio Test in Arizona
Order online, choose a certified collection site in Arizona, and review results through a secure portal. No referral is required, and orders are processed confidentially. Access across Southwest is far-flung, so confirming a site ahead of time is worthwhile.
