I'm trying to understand my recent kidney test results. My creatinine is at 0.8 mgdL and my urea level is 21 mgdL. Could you help me figure out what my BUN-to-creatinine ratio is and what it means for my health? I'm kind of worried about the effects it might have.

Your BUNCreatinine ratio can be calculated by dividing the BUN value by the creatinine value. In your case, the BUNCreatinine ratio is 210.8, which equals 26.25. A normal BUNCreatinine ratio is typically between 10:1 and 20:1. A ratio higher than this range may indicate dehydration, gastrointestinal bleeding, or a diet high in protein. A ratio lower than this range may indicate liver disease or malnutrition. In your case, with a BUNCreatinine ratio of 26.25, it is slightly higher than the normal range. This could be due to dehydration or a high-protein diet. It is important to stay hydrated and consider adjusting your diet if necessary.

My wife has albumin in her urine along with a UTI. There isn't any sugar showing up in her urine, but she does have a history of diabetes. Should I be concerned and check her diabetes levels?

Albumin in the urine can be a sign of kidney damage, especially in the presence of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Since your wife has a history of diabetes, it is important to monitor her blood sugar levels regularly. I recommend checking her blood sugar levels and consulting with a healthcare provider to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, she can take antibiotics for the UTI and ensure proper hydration.
