What should we need to do if BUN Creatinine Ratio is low?
Issue: Low BUN Creatinine Ratio
Range: 10.0 - 20.0
Unit: mg/dl
Requirement : Increase BUN Creatinine Ratio
Symptoms and Complications
• A low BUN value may be caused by a diet very low in protein, by malnutrition, or by severe liver damage.
• Drinking too much liquid may cause overhydration and cause a low BUN value.
• Women and children may have lower BUN levels than men because of how their bodies break down protein.
• A low BUN-to-creatinine ratio may be caused by a diet low in protein, a severe muscle injury called rhabdomyolysis, pregnancy, cirrhosis, or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH).
