Generally, a high BUN level means your kidneys aren’t working well. But elevated BUN can also be due to: Dehydration, resulting from not drinking enough fluids or for other reasons. Urinary tract obstruction.
Why is BUN and creatinine high in dehydration?
Dehydration generally causes urea levels to rise more than creatinine levels. This causes a high urea-to-creatinine ratio. Kidney disease or blockage of the flow of urine from your kidney causes both urea and creatinine levels to go up.
What BUN creatinine ratio means dehydration?
The ratio of BUN to creatinine is usually between 10:1 and 20:1. An increased ratio may be due to a condition that causes a decrease in the flow of blood to the kidneys, such as CHF or dehydration.
