Will creatinine decrease if you drink lots of fluids? This should be a common question for high creatinine level patients. As we know, high creatinine level is often regarded as a sign to reflect kidney function, and the high creatinine level in blood is very dangerous for kidney disease patients. So patients need to take effective treatment to lower high creatinine level.

Will creatnine decrease if you drink lots of water?

Creatinine is the waste product of muscle metabolism, and it is mainly excreted by kidneys. When the kidneys can work well, or there are more than 50% kidney function, the creatinine can be reduced normally. However, if the kidneys are damaged severely or there are less than 50% kidney function, it will cause elevation of creatinine level in blood.

Some patients may think if they take lots of fluid daily, it can increase the urine output, then it can help remove some creatinine into urine and lower creatinine level. However, since the specific illness condition will be different from case to case, so whether taking lots of fluid can decrease the creatinine level is all depending on the own illness condition of patients.

For high creatinine patients, if they have the symptoms such as high blood pressure or swelling, they need to limit the fluid intake, which can help relieve the symptoms. If these patients take too much fluid in their daily diet, it will worsen their illness condition.

If high creatinine patients don’t have the symptoms of high blood pressure or swelling, they can take more fluid to increase urine output, which can help lower creatinine level.

Therefore, high creatinine level patients need to take proper amount of fluid depending on their own illness condition, which will be helpful for their illness condition. In addition, patients also need to take effective medical treatment to help improve their kidney function, which can help decrease the creatinine level from root.
