Question
1. Your friend (choose one) decided to enroll in a body-building class at AZ Fitness. The class involved a program of exercises for weight and strength training. To ensure muscle building was possible and occurred during the prescribed pattern of exercise, dietary supplements were made available as a part of the cost for attending the class. As a result of the program, your friend gained weight as 25% more muscle mass, and came to have a lesser level of body fat (lost about 10%). S/he stayed in this condition for a year and seemed to be stable in condition for the last six months of that time. S/he then decided to stop the maintenance program of exercise and eating needed to keep the muscle. S/he has returned to her previous diet, will exercise at a moderated, typical, healthy level, and expects to lose the muscle mass slowly. This loss occurs concomitantly (naturally accompanying) with a higher level of serum creatinine level because each day from 1 to 2% of muscle creatine will be converted to creatinine, which is eliminated by the kidneys. (The 1 to 2% value includes creatinine byproduct that is created as phosphocreatine is made from creatine.) And since s/he begins with extra muscle to be resorbed, an extra amount of creatinine will be made as that muscle is lost. This loss of muscle is to occur over eight weeks typical creatinine clearance for an individual like this is 1.4 mg/dL -A Using the above information, set up equations to estimate the levels of creatinine that will be found in the blood as the muscle mass returns to a "normal," previous level. Your answermust include: equations and appropriate eExplanation / Answer
The serum Creatinine level is a precise measure of the kidney function. from the above given information, it is able to formulate the equation .
Equation can be given as

GFR= ([140 age] × weight)/(72 × SCr)
Serum Creatinine= ([140 age] × weight)/(72 × GFR)
