what is the normal range of bun and creatinine
Normal levels of creatinine and BUN. Te normal range for creatinine in the blood may be 0.6 to 1.3 milligrams per deciliter (53 to 115 micromoles per liter), although this can vary from lab to lab, between men and women, and by age. Since men usually have high larger muscle mass, the amount of creatinine in the blood is often higher than women. In general,the normal BUN level ranges from 7 to 20mg/dL(2.5 to 7.1mmol/L).However, the normal BUN levels may vary with the lab, and your age.
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. A small, temporary increase in either BUN or creatinine can occur during illness or dehydration; the numbers usually return to normal during recovery.
