Frequently Asked Questions

The prominent signs of urinary tract infection (UTI) in children are burning sensation during urination along with fever. Additionally, it can be accompanied by lower abdominal pain due to accumulation of excessive bacteria in the urinary tract.

Low blood creatinine levels in children do indicate kidney or liver-related problems. However, research is suggestive that a low protein diet along with low muscle mass ratio in the child’s body could also contribute to low creatine levels. You are recommended to speak with a pediatric nephrologist for guidance.
