My creatinine lab results:
0.90 11/2005 (when I had my laparascopic appendectomy)
0.84 08/2007 (just prior to Dx of T2, tweaked exercise & diet)
0.74 04/2008 (continued diet and exercise improvement)
The normal range is 0.70 to 1.50, so I'm trending out of bounds. I need to learn if supplementing is the right thing to do and if so, how much and what kind. If I get up closer to 1.50 with supplementation, can I expect to build muscle faster? |
Creatinine and Creatine are not the same thing. Low creatinine levels are a good thing and show that kidney fuction is normal. Creatinine is a waste product produced by your body and filtered out by your kidneys, high levels indicate kidney disease.
Creatine is something produced and stored in skeletal muscle to aid in ATP production.
