2015-04-15 08:05

High creatinine level is a common symptom in Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). When kidney function declines, creatinine builds up in the blood stream and causes problems that include fatigue, itchy skin and nausea. Diet plan can help lower high creatinine level in PKD.

1. less protein intake

Eating less protein reduces the amount of creatinine the body produces. This makes it easier for the kidneys to filter creatinine out of the blood and reduces creatinine level. PKD patients should follow a low but high quality protein diet such as fish, lean meat, egg white and milk. They contain high quality protein and cause little extra renal burden. Therefore, they are available for kidney disease patients, but the exact amount of protein intake will vary.

2. Too much meat will not be recommended.

Creatinine is the end product of meat in our body, including our muscles and meat taken by us during diet. We cannot change our muscle mass, but we can eat less meat everyday to reduce the production of creatinine as much as possible. Eating less meat is not a permanent way to lower creatinine levell, but it is helpful to control high creatinine level.

3. avoid high phosphorus and high potassium foods

Damaged kidneys are easy to cause high phosphorus and high potassium level in blood. Therefore, if your lab reports show there is high phosphorus and high potassium level in blood, in daily diet you should avoid foods with high phosphorus and high potassium.

Some foods can reduce high creatinine level in blood, including cucumber, red bell peppers and lemon. Besides, some herbal tea can also bring creatinine level to some extent such as nettle leaf tea, dandelion root tea, salvia, Chinese rhubarb and stinging nettle seed. It is important for you to consult a doctor for a proper treatment of the condition.
