I m a 28 year old male who just recently discovered problems with carnitine levels. My free carnitine is low at 19, my bound carnitine is 62 making my ratio a whopping 3.26. While I wait for results, I have several questions about treatment options...
Hello! I would explain that it is necessary performing some tests in order to investigate for the possible causes underlying low carnitine plasma levels:- Complete blood count- CPU (muscle enzymes)- Kidney and liver function tests, etc. Sometimes, this is related to a genetic disorder or to malnutrition. In the meantime, I would recommend taking carnitine supplements. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
