Low creatinine levels may occur in people with loss of muscle mass, severe liver disease, pregnancy, or not enough protein in the diet. To fix low creatinine requires identifying the cause of correcting the underlying cause, if possible. Exercise may increase muscle mass and improve low creatinine levels. Vegetarians need to assure that they have enough protein in their diets. Consult with your healthcare provider if you are pregnant or have liver disease.
The GFR as it is measured indirectly via creatinine a low level could be to many different causes chronic kidney disease, old age, loss of kidney mass or nephrons etc a full work up with a nephrologist will show a full picture of cause!
Make sure that you are eating five to six small meals, healthy meals per day. It is important to eat a mixture of fruits and vegetables as well as protein-rich foods. If you have low creatinine, you may be losing muscle mass because of not in off protein consumption or liver disease. Please, check with your healthcare provider. For better guidance since he/she have your complete medical history so he can do a better assessment of your disease process. Thank you.
