High creatinine level may result from kidney function impairment. As we all know, reasonable diet can help you control creatinine level to certain extent. But do you know what food is bad for high creatinine?

Meat

Meat is a source of creatinine. If you eat a lot of meat in the daily, there will produce a lot of creatinine. Because your damaged kidneys can not discharge the excess creatinine from your body,

your creatinine level will increase quickly. Therefore, if you would like to lower your creatinine level, you had better reduce the intake of meat.

High sodium diet

When your creatinine level is high, you should pay attention to your intake of sodium. Because sodium can worsen your high blood pressure and edema. Canned foods, fast foods, table salt and so on are all rich in sodium.

High cholesterol diet

Cardiovascular disease is a common complication of kidney failure and it can threaten your life if you can not bring it under control. Diet high in cholesterol level can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease. Egg yolk, caviar, butter, fast foods and cheese are high in cholesterol, so you had avoid them in the daily.

High potassium diet

You should also reduce the potassium intake, because potassium can not be passed out of your body like creatinine. High potassium can cause fatigue, nausea, etc. Some foods that are potassium-rich include bananas, nuts, milk, and salmon.

According to different medical conditions, there may be different diet requirements. But diet is not the root solution. If you can not improve your kidney function, high creatinine level can not reduce.
