The BUN, creatinine and the ratio are kidney function tests.. they are cleared from your blood stream by the kidney. While low blood urea could signify liver injury or malnutrition your liver function tests and total protein say other wise. Being "dehydrated" usually causes these numbers to go UP and the ratio to be high. I wouldn't pay much attention to it.
