Creatinine is a breakdown product of creatine, which is an important part of
muscle. Creatinine level in your blood is an important indicator which shows how
your kidney is functioning. High creatinine level can be caused by such factors
as kidney diseases, too high intake of proteins, dehydration, using
muscle-building dietary supplement creatine, over-exercising.The following is an
overview of diet changes for people with high creatinine level.
◆ Limit Salt Intake
As we know high blood pressure is one big risk of further kidney damage.
Excessive sodium intake is able to raise people’s blood pressure and in some
cases it can also aggravate patients’ swelling. Therefore, people whose
creatinine level should avoid salty foods such as salty condiments, cheese,
salami, bacon, cured meats, snack foods, pickled foods, hamburgers, etc.
◆Vitamins Intake
Researches of Turkey reveal that vitamin especially vitamin C has a benefit
of increasing the rate of kidney filtering creatinine and other wastes so as to
improve patients’ kidney function. Here, we mainly recommend three fruits: kiwi
fruit,cranberry and pomegranate.
◆ Limit the intake of protein
People with high creatinine levels often have to change the amount of protein
they consume. Many patients go on a low-protein diet to slow down the
progression of kidney disease and ease their symptoms. For kidney disease
patients, high-quality protein rather than high-quantity protein is recommended.
Generally, one glass of milk, one egg white and 06g of lean meat one daily is
able to meet their protein need.
Except for above suggestions, patients also need to pay close attention to
drinking and smoking in order to decrease the danger of high creatinine level.
Of course, we are looking forward to your consultation about this topic.
