Patient: My mother’s creatinine level is 7mg/dL and I would like to know which food I have to give her to help lower it. Could you give me some advice?

Doctor: Many patients with high creatinine also have elevated potassium and phosphorus levels. Elevated potassium leads to irregular heartbeats and elevated phosphorus causes serious bone problems. Low potassium and low phosphorus diets help prevent these problems. People also need to restrict fluid consumption. Besides, less protein intake reduces the workload of the kidneys while eating less sodium, phosphorus and potassium prevents these substances pile up in the bloodstream, which reduces blood pressure and prevents swelling. With a reduced workload, kidneys have no need to work so hard to maintain balance of fluid and electrolytes. Less protein intake will reduce the amount of creatinine that is produced by the body. Both of these things make it easier for the kidneys to discharge creatinine out of the blood and reduce creatinine level. What is more important, the above diet suggestion also slows the progression of kidney disease.

In summary, kidney disease people should avoid high potassium and high phosphorus as well as high salted foods. Low but high quality protein diet should be followed. However, the amount your mother can consume depends on her medical condition. If you have her medical reports, you can send them to pkdtreatment169@gmail.com.
