I just received my employer sponsored annual blood profile and I don t understand the levels of some tests. My Globulin, Calc level is considered low at 2.0 (Gm/dL). My A/G Ratio is high at 2.30. BUN/Creat Ratio is high at 21.1. I am a white 59 year old female is good health.
Hi! welcome to HCM! BUN/Creat Ratio>20:1 MEANS the cause is Prerenal (before the kidney) BUN reabsorption is increased. BUN is disproportionately elevated relative to creatinine in serum. Dehydration is suspected.Maintain hydration and consult a Physician get examined. An elevated BUN:Cr due to a low or low-normal creatinine and a BUN within the reference range is not of clinical significance. an elevated A/G ratio, is not considered to be clinically significant while a low ratio is very significant and must be investigated. hope this helps!
