Reassurance from

netdoctor.co.uk/ask-the-exp...

"Having a low level of blood creatinine indicates nothing more than an efficient and effective pair of kidneys"

I do not know your age, but medicine net says " Elderly persons may have less creatinine in their blood than the norm. Infants have normal levels of about 0.2 or more, depending on their muscle development.

In people with malnutrition, severe weight loss, and long standing illnesses, the muscle mass tends to diminish over time and, therefore, their creatinine level may be lower than expected for their age."
