Carnitine Deficiency: Carnitine deficiency occurs when the body cannot produce or absorb enough carnitine, leading to symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, and in severe cases, heart and liver problems.

Carnitine deficiency may be of two types, primary and secondary. Primary is genetic and may show symptoms by five years of age. Whereas, secondary may occur due to certain disorders like kidney problems (chronic kidney failure) and use of antibiotics that reduces its absorption and increases its excretion.
