Hello dear
I understand your concern
I have undergone through your renal function test
Your urea and uric acid is with the normal reference range.
Your creatinine could be due to diet very low in protein, a low muscle mass due to ageing.
So low creatinine has no any clinical significance in your case.
It should be correlated with the other profile like liver profile and with clinical symptoms.
But one thing is clear that you have no any renal malfunction.
Hope this may help you
