BUN/Creatinine ratio differentiate between acute and chronic renal disease.
Prerenal azotemia appears when there is poor renal perfusion like hypovolemia, hypotension.
Postrenal azotemia is due to obstruction.

Prerenal acute failure = BUN/Creatinine ratio  > 20 : 1
Renal acute failure  = BUN/Creatinine ratio < 20 : 1
Suggest renal azotemia or late postrenal azotemia when  BUN / Creatinine ratio = < 10:1
