Low blood creatinine levels may be caused by various factors, including anemia and hyperthyroidism. The choice of medication for treating low blood creatinine should depend on the specific underlying cause.
1. Anemia-induced: Iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate tablets, ferrous fumarate chewable tablets, ferrous gluconate capsules, or iron dextran tablets may be taken to increase red blood cell production, thereby improving blood creatinine levels.
2. Hyperthyroidism-induced: Antithyroid medications such as propylthiouracil or methimazole may be used to control thyroid hormone secretion, which may in turn help improve low blood creatinine levels.
In actual treatment, medication selection and adjustments should be made based on a physician's guidance and individual patient conditions.
