Are You Clear about the Symptoms of Low Creatinine

As we all know, the high creatinine level in the body often indicates that the kidneys are getting something wrong, but, are you clear about the matter on low creatinine? Next I will introduce this knowledge.
Before I introduce the knowledge about low creatinine and its symptoms, I want to talk about something about the knowledge about creatinine.
Creatinine is a by-product of creatinine phosphate, and creatinine phosphate is used in the contraction of skeletal muscle. Creatinine is dependent on the muscle mass, so creatinine is higher in larger and more muscular people than in smaller persons who do not have much muscle.
Creatinine is eliminated by the kidneys and its levels are considered as an indicator of kidney health. In normal cases, the blood ccreatinine level should be stable.
Decreased blood creatinine level is also caused by the decreased muscle mass, When the muscle mass decreases, they will produce less amount of creatinine. Besides, low creatinine could be also a sign of certain diseases which could cause the decreased muscle mass and these diseases often contain the myasthenia gravis and muscular dystrophy. These patients will show up with the characteristics of weakness, muscle wasting, and other symptoms.
When the muscle mass decreases, creatinine levels will fall or drop. And when the muscles are not used, muscle atrophy will occur. If a patient is bedridden or hospitalized for a long time, he or she may lose his or her muscle tone, so his or her creatinine levels would decrease.
Another factor I want to say concerning low creatinine is age. Creatinine level will tend to decrease along with the age. So the aged as well as the young children have a lower creatinine level compared with adults.

Now I guess that you may have a clear idea on the symptoms of low creatinine. Immunotherapy used in our hospital could improve patients’ immunity, so patients may have less symptoms of low creatinine.
