Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your creatinine level is low. Don't worry it is not a problem. Many person has low creatinine level. It is not significant clinically. High creatinine level suggest kidney disease. But low level is normal. It depends on dietary protein intake, muscle mass and many other factors so don't worry about that.Your AST & ALT level is also normal so just be relaxed.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
