What you're talking about sounds like BUN/creatinine ratio.  Although the
numbers are close, the ratio is higher. My BUN on past tests has been 15 and
16 and BUN/creatinine ratio has been 17 and 22.  You're still in the normal
range so don't worry about it.  Did you have other tests to share?  like
CRP, Homocysteine, etc.?  Oliva
