Serum creatinine is an useful indicator of kidney function. The high
creatinine level mean a reduction of kidney function. With proper diet, you can
lower the high creatinine level. The followings are the diet for high creatinine
level.
Sodium
Patients with high creatinine almost invariably have high blood pressure and
often end up taking four or five different blood pressure medications.
Controlling blood pressure is easier if you follow a low-sodium diet. Avoiding
processed meats and canned soups is a good start. Indian and Mexican dishes are
very helpful because these rely on spices for flavor instead of the salt shaker
or soy sauce bottle. Just be careful to avoid the dal or bean dish dishes that
often accompany such meals if your potassium or phosphorus levels are high.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is often a problem for patients with elevated creatinine. If your
phosphorus levels start to inch upwards, your nephrologist will suggest a
low-phosphorus diet. High-phosphorus foods to avoid include milk products,
lentils, dried beans, chocolate and beer. Dishes such as macaroni-and-cheese and
lasagna are off-limits because of the cheese content. Use nondairy creamer to
replace milk in recipes.
Protein
Patients with high creatinine levels often have to change the amount of
protein they consume. Many patients go on low-protein diets to slow down the
progression of kidney disease and minimize symptoms of having nitrogenous wastes
in the blood. Other patients go on high-protein diets after starting dialysis to
prevent muscle wasting and replace amino acids that get dialyzed out of their
blood. Ask your doctor if you need to change your protein intake.
The proper diet not only can supply you the rich nutritions, but also lower
the creatinine level. So you can send an email to kidneyask@hotmail.com, I will
