BUN/Creatanine ratio

Sent to Health Experts August 24 08:38 PM

My metabolic profile is consistently great as well as lipids and CBC. However, for the past six years my BUN.crea ratio has been above the norms (values themselves are ok but at extremes.) My doc says no pronbem as the rest of my tests are good.

However, some places I have read say 20-25 is the top adult ration althopugh I have consistently been high. If my doc likes my values, should I be concerned?

Last ratio was 25:1 although I take avalide which has a small amount of diuretic in it and I live at 9600 feet altitude. Very dry.
