BUN Creatinine Ratio Calculator
You can use this BUN creatinine ratio calculator to determine how much blood urea nitrogen you have compared to how much creatinine you have.
Enter the BUN value and Serum Creatinine values to calculate the ratio.
The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test is a good way to determine if your kidneys or diet are giving you trouble.
BUN/creatinine ratio >20 = Prerenal cause
BUN/creatinine ratio <10 = Intrinsic renal cause
You might want to determine your carb cycling or fat burning.
