Drink some water

If you do not have edema, you can drink moderate water to increase urine output. Creatinine can be passed out of the body with urine. But if you have edema, you should limit the intake of water.

Limit the intake of meat

Meat contains a lot of creatine, which can produce creatinine so as to cause high creatinine level, so you should limit the intake of meat. Besides, you should supplement calories to reduce protein metabolism in your body.

Avoid strenuous activity

Creatinine is a waste product of muscle contraction, so you had better avoid strenuous activity, but you can do some gentle exercise.

Control symptoms

Whatever symptoms you have, you should control these symptoms. There are many medications to help you. For example, ACE inhibitors and ARBs lower blood pressure and steroids reduce proteinuria.

Improve kidney function

Kidney is to filter creatinine from body. When kidney function improves, creatinine level comes down. TCM therapies are helpful, such as Micro-Chinese Medicines Osmotherapy, Medicated Bath, Circle Therapy and Moxibustion.

Creatinine 5.3 is much higher than the normal level. Early treatment should be received to lower it, or it can cause many other problems. You are still young. Hope you can bring the kidney disease under control and enjoy your life.
