Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased creatinine and BUN are associated with abnormalities in renal function, as is the presence of glucose in a urine sample. Urine samples normally lack protein and have a specific gravity of 1.038 to 1.040. An elevated BUN coupled with normal creatinine is likely not attributable to impaired kidney function.
