A member asked:
When creatinine serum blood level is low 0.6, does this mean kidney is filtering good. what are muscle wasting symptoms & causes. ?

See below: You are right about creatinine level. Muscle wasting as the name implies is atrophy of muscles. Lack of activity, some problems of neuro muscular system can do that.

Kidney fine: When you have low muscle mass from genetic, metabolic or traumatic loss of muscle there is less creatinine to be cleared by the body, and therefore low levels in the blood.
