High BUN indicates increased protein breakdown, which is associated with decreased immune function. A study shows that patients with elevated BUN (> 20 mg/dl) have an increased risk of infection (R). High BUN is associated with increased mortality in critically ill patients (R, R, R, R).
Other conditions that cause BUN-to-creatinine ratio to rise are kidney disease, kidney stones, or bleeding in the intestines. Low BUN-to-creatinine can occur in pregnancy, liver disease, or a diet low in protein. The BUN-to-creatinine ratio is not a precise or reliable test, though.f kidney function begins to decline, BUN and creatinine rise. A normal creatinine depends on muscle mass and age. In general, a normal creatine is 0.5 to 1.2 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). A normal BUN is 7 to 20 mg/dL.
