Questions: I was diagnosed with kidney failure 5 years, and recently my doctor told me that my creatinine level is higher than the normal level. I know that people need to start dialysis when they have high creatinine level, and i don’t want to start dialysis. Doctor also told me diet can help lower high creatinine level, can you give me some suggestions on high creatinine level diet?

Answer: I get your description from my assistant, and I am Dr. Zhao in Shijiazhuang kidney disease hospital China. I will help you answer your question, and give you more useful suggestions.

You said your creatinine level is higher than the normal level, this means your kidneys have been damaged severely, and you have less than 50% kidney function. In this condition, you need to keep a kidney-friendly diet which can help reduce your kidney burden and protect your residual kidney function.

Here are some suggestions on high creatinine level diet:

1. Limit your salt intake

When you suffer from high creatinine level, you may also have some other symptoms such as high blood pressure and swelling. So patients need to limit their salt intake. If their high blood pressure and swelling are severe, they need to avoid the salt intake.

2. Supply enough vitamins

When people suffer from high creatinine level, they need to supply enough vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C, which will be helpful for kidney failure patients.

3. Limit protein intake

Because of loss of protein in urine, patients also need to limit their protein intake, which can help reduce the kidney burden and protect the residual kidney function. Patients need to take proper amount protein depending on their illness condition.

Above are the diet suggestions for people with high creatinine level. Besides, because the high creatinine level is mainly caused by your low kidney function, so you also need to have effective treatment to repair your kidney damage and improve your kidney function.
