I am sure that the job role varies a little based on the type of company you work for. As for me, I work for a SP. I would like to give you some insight into what I do as a Network Engineer in my company, how Cisco certs helped me, how the job helped me with certs, and how it expanded my vision. All while being a little vague and general because a lot of information about our network and how it is managed is confidential.
Creatinine is a natural product of muscle breakdown that occurs at a low level in the body. Both BUN and creatinine are filtered by the kidney and excreted in urine. For this reason, BUN and creatinine are used together to measure kidney function. If 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. Remember that different laboratories use different testing equipment, and may have slightly different ranges for normal.
When your BUN levels are compared with your creatinine levels, it gives a fuller picture of whatâs happening with your kidneys. This is known as the BUN/Creatinine ratio. Creatinine is a waste product from your muscles that is also filtered by your kidneys. Like BUN, high levels of creatinine could mean there is a lot of waste product that hasnât been removed by the kidneys. The ideal ratio of BUN to creatinine falls between 10-to-1 and 20-to-1. Having a ratio above this range could mean you may not be getting enough blood flow to your kidneys, and could have conditions such as congestive heart failure, dehydration, or gastrointestinal bleeding.
