What does a low creatinine level in infants indicate?

Hello, Creatinine is an important indicator for assessing whether kidney function is abnormal. It is primarily a metabolic byproduct of muscle tissue and is excreted from the body via the kidneys. Low creatinine levels are most commonly associated with anemia resulting from chronic malnutrition; in most cases, this has minimal clinical significance. Parents need not be overly anxious. However, it is advisable to consult your physician for further evaluation to determine the underlying cause. Ensure adequate nutritional intake and encourage regular physical activity to enhance overall immunity and disease resistance. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
