A high level of creatinine is always a concern for most patients in the kidneys. In addition to medicines, a healthy diet also plays an important role in lowering the level of creatinine.
What is creatinine?
Creatinine is a breakdown product of the muscles and meat you consume. It is mainly removed through urination by the kidneys. When the kidney function is reduced to below 50%, increase the level of creatinine. The normal level of creatinine for an adult female is 0.5 to 1.1 mg / dL, and for an adult male it ranges from 0.6 to 1.2 mg / dL.

From what has been said above, we see that there are two great sources of creatinine, so we must try to reduce the production of creatinine.
First, you must limit the consumption of meat, especially red meat, like lamb and beef. In order to meet the needs of the body, you can take the correct high quality protein, like egg white and fish.
Secondly, to reduce muscle catabolism, you must increase the intake of high calories. As we all know, calories come from proteolysis, fats and carbohydrates. Fat is also not very good for patients. Foods high in carbohydrates include potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice, corn, cereals and so on.
Thirdly, vitamins are useful for boosting the immune system. And many sick kidneys suffer from vitamin deficiency. It is recommended to use fresh vegetables and fruits such as guava, kiwi fruit, cranberry, onion and pepper.
Fourth, if you do not have swelling, you can drink plenty of water to accelerate the elimination of creatinine. In accordance with your physical condition, you may need to limit the intake of phosphorus and potassium.
