2. Low protein in diet is necessary for patients with high creatinine level. Protein can produce wastes after decomposed in body, which makes kidney get more burdens and worsening kidney function. But high quality protein can be good, which produces very few wastes and supplies rich nutrition to body.

3. For patients with end stage kidney failure, it is always suggested to be on dialysis to help filter the blood to remove much creatinine from body. Dialysis is a option to teat high creatinine level, but in the long term, side effects of dialysis can happen on people, such as low blood pressure, skin problems, muscle cramps, restless syndrome legs, and fatigue. This is also the reason why some patient with kidney failure do not like being on dialysis.
