A member asked:

Recently blood tests show my body is low in creatine, is there a supplement i can take while pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely normal: Blood volume, especially plasma volume increases during pregnancy and causes dilution of many blood constituents, including creatinine. Low creatinine is not something to be concerned about.
