A member asked:
What does it mean low creatinine levels and high bun creatinine ratio?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle mass: Serum levels of creatinine depend on renal function, muscle mass and intake of muscles foods. A low creatinine level is of no consequence as long as you are not emaciated. Paralyzed, or have extensive amputations. High ratio just reflects low creatinine.
