"High BUN-to-creatinine ratios occur with sudden (acute) kidney failure, which may be caused by conditions such as shock or severe dehydration. An obstruction in the urinary tract (such as from a kidney stone) can cause an elevated BUN-to-creatinine ratio. A very high BUN-to-creatinine ratio may be caused by bleeding in the digestive tract or respiratory tract."
Blood Urea NitrogenBlood Urea Nitrogen, a high level usually means impaired kidney function.it is the blood urea nitrogen. Elevated in dehydration, kidney problems and others things.BUN = Blood Urea NitrogenA blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test measures the amount of nitrogen in your blood that comes from the waste product urea. Urea is made when protein is broken down in your body. Urea is made in the liver and passed out of your body in the urine.A BUN test is done to see how well your kidneys are working. If your kidneys are not able to remove urea from the blood normally, your BUN level rises. Heart failure, dehydration or a diet high in protein can also make your BUN level higher. Liver disease or damage can lower your BUN level. A low BUN level can occur normally in the second or third trimester of pregnancy.
An elevated creatinine level indicates renal insufficiency or renal failure.

Testing the urea in the blood indicates the ability to properly metabolize protein. If the level varies too high or low the doctor will ask for a BUN to check the kidneys.
An abnormally high blood urea nitrogen (BUN) level may indicate damage to the kidneys and a decreased ability to properly remove nitrogenous waste from the blood in your urine.
