Why does creatinine level elevate?

Creatinine is a chemical waste product in the blood that passes through the kidneys to be discharged and eliminated in urine. Generally creatinine level in the blood remains unchanged from day to day because muscle mass stays the same. Certain medications, eating a lot of meat or building muscles through weight training or other exercise may show higher level of creatinine, even in those who do not have kidney disease. High creatinine is a major factor of kidney damage. When there is kidney damage or kidney disease, and the kidneys are not able to filter waste efficiently, they will be likely be a rise in creatinine levels in the blood. High creatinine level in kidney disease is mainly from kidney damage.

High creatinine level patients should eat some fresh vegetables and fruits like cabbages, cauliflower, bitter gourd, cranberry juice and red peppers, etc.

2. Exercise

Strenuous exercise also elevates creatinine level. Thus, strenuous exercise should be avoided while some gentle exercise like swimming, yoga, walking, tai qi, qigong can be taken by patients with high creatinine level.
