* A low BUN value may be caused by a diet very low in protein, malnutrition, or severe liver damage.
* Drinking excessive amounts of liquid may cause overhydration and lead to a low BUN value.
* BUN levels may normally be low in the third trimester of pregnancy.
* A low BUN-to-creatinine ratio may be associated with a diet low in protein, a severe muscle injury called rhabdomyolysis, pregnancy, cirrhosis, or syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). SIADH sometimes occurs with lung disease, cancer, diseases of the central nervous system, and the use of certain medications.
