Why Do People on Dialysis Still Have High Creatinine Level 6.1

Why do people on dialysis still have high creatinine level 6.1? I think this question has baffled many people. Why creatinine level is still high after dialysis?

The root cause of high creatinine level after dialysis is that dialysis cannot repair injured kidney and improve kidney function. Dialysis is just an artificial machine and cannot bring damaged kidneys back to work. Thus, kidneys can not discharge excess creatinine out of body. Creatinine level is still high after dialysis. What’s more, dialysis can also result in a series of dialysis and complications like muscle cramps, low blood pressure and infection, etc.

1. How to lower high creatinine level naturally?

Diet for high creatinine level

When you have high creatinine level, your doctor may recommend a diet from protein, sodium, potassium and phosphorus. Limiting protein intake to 0.4 gram per pound is able to preserve kidney function. Most of your protein should come from lean meat, poultry, eggs and milk. If your creatinine levels are elevated because your kidneys are not working properly, sodium levels build up in your body. Eating less sodium helps you manage blood pressure, which may also preserve kidney function. As for potassium and phosphorus, you may need to limit your intake of foods high in potassium and phosphorus when your creatinine levels are high. High potassium level in blood may cause an irregular heartbeat or even a heart attack. And having high phosphorus levels in your blood can cause your body to pull calcium out of your bones, which may weaken them. Thus, patients with high creatinine level need to limit phosphorus and potassium intake.
