BUN/ Creatinine Ratio
BUN/ Creatinine Ratio is a clinical biomarker on the Kidneys panel, reported in ratio. Standard reference range: 8–19 ratio. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 13–18 ratio.
What is BUN/ Creatinine Ratio?
The BUN/creatinine ratio helps differentiate pre-renal from intrinsic renal causes of azotemia and provides insight into protein catabolism and hydration status.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (ratio) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 8–19 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 13–18 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets BUN/ Creatinine Ratio
SomaVue maps every result for BUN/ Creatinine Ratio against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
