Elevated values may indicate chronic infections and should be followed-up by your personal physician. A/G Ratio is a ratio between Albumin and Globulin. Provided Albumin and Globulin values are normal, a high or low ratio is not significant. Total Bilirubin is a bile pigment. It normally circulates in the plasma and is taken up by liver cells.
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.
