When you move, your muscle will break down some byproduct which is called
creatinine. Usually the increase of creatinine get muscle mass and kidney
involved. However, the constant creatinine increase generally suggests the
kidney dysfunction, for creatinine should be filtered by kidneys from the
blood.
What is creatinine?
Creatinine represents a derivative of creatinine phosphate and the human body
typically synthesizes it at the relatively steady level. It is a breakdown
byproduct of muscle. Creatinine creates every day as a normal muscle metabolism
output. For healthy people, kidneys will filter the creatinine from the blood
and cleanse the creatinine out of body by urination. However, if your kidneys
can not function well, creatinine will deposit in your body and creatinine level
will be high.
What will happen if creatinine increases?
Creatinine level do not elevate until the kidneys functions has marked
falling down. Usually, when creatinine begin to increase, it indicate that your
have lost more than 50% kidney functions.
Initial high creatinine levels may not create outstanding signs or symptoms.
As creatinine builds up in the body gradually, some possible signs may appear,
including fatigue, sleepy, loss of appetite, dehydration. Meantime, if you do
not take medical measures for your kidneys, associated renal problems may
include proteinuria, blood in urine, high blood pressure and renal anemia
etc.
How to lower creatinine level?
As mentioned above, the root cause is impaired kidneys. Thereby, the
treatment should start from them. Many ways can help lower creatinine levels,
such as diet changes, lifestyle management, herbs and medications etc.
Diet changes. Avoid high creatinine food, high protein food, high salt food
and food containing arginine. Take more fruit and vegetable instead of processed
food.
Herbs. Herbs, such as cinnamon, stinging nettle, salvia, chamomile contain
special properties which can cleanse away inflammation and improve renal
functions, thus lowering creatinine levels.
Chose a right treatment. There are many treatments for high creatinine
levels. However, we suggest the one which focuses on the underlying kidney
disease.
