Creatinine is the product of metabolism of muscle and removed from the body by kidney. If patients did strenuous exercise, creatinine will increase suddenly. But it will reduce without any treatment. If their creatinine increases for a long time and can not be lowered without treatment, it usually indicates kidney problem. High creatinine level does not occur until at least half of kidney function has been damaged. Well, how to prevent the increase of serum creatinine level?
1. Diet for high creatinine levels
High quality protein
High quality protein contains more essential amino acids, which can be absorbed by your body so as to reduce the production of waste products. Egg white, lean meat, poultry without skin, milk and so on is all high quality protein. But too much protein intake will also increase the workload of kidneys so as to worsen proteinuria.
Vegetables and fruits with high vitamins
Vitamins are antioxidants, which can neutralize free radicals in your body and strengthen immune system so as to help you fight against the disease. Fresh vegetables and fruits are packed with rich vitamins, so you should add them into your diet.
Food low in sodium
Sodium retains water in your body and raises blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure and edema, you should limit the intake of sodium and eat food low in sodium.
2. Medical treatment for high creatinine level
Increase renal filtration function
Damaged kidneys can not filter blood as well as they did before. However, if we repair injured kidney tissues on the precondition of protecting residual kidney tissues, kidneys can filter blood better. This helps to remove excess creatinine in blood and reduce serum creatinine level.
Increase bloodstream in kidney
Kidneys filter blood and during this process, creatinine in blood is removed, so by promoting renal blood circulation and increasing bloodstream in kidney, creatinine in blood can be reduced and as a result, serum creatinine level is lowered down naturally.
In kidney disease, serum creatinine level increases as kidneys can not filter blood as well as they did before, so by increasing bloodstream in kidney, not only further increase of serum creatinine level can be prevented, but also high creatinine level can be reduced to a large degree.
