Loss of lean muscle mass can be a normal consequence of aging. Since most of the creatinine production in the body is from skeletal muscle, how would the decrease in lean body mass in elderly individuals affect the interpretation of plasma creatinine concentration as an index of GFR? Select all of the following which are TRUE with respect to creatinine. A. Creatinine is not reabsorbed by the renal tubules. B. Small amounts of creatinine are secreted. C. Creatinine clearance slightly underestimates GFR. D. Elevated blood concentrations of creatinine can be used to approximate GFR; as GFR goes up, plasma creatinine goes up.
