Many patients are found their creatinine level is high when they are
performing routine check. The main reason of the elevation of serum creatinine
is the damage of kidney function, which loses its normal function of discharging
wastes, including serum creatinine.
The reason why creatinine level is elevated:
1. Patients who have kidney insufficiency are accompanied with infection
including: catching a cold, pneumonia, enteral infections can have temporary
elevation of serum creatinine.
2. If the body loses too much water such as high fever, more sweating, drink
little water, and excessive urine can lead to the concentration of blood. So,
the less urine will flow to the kidneys, leading to high level of
creatinine.
3. Kidney patients who take medicines that are poisonous to kidneys can also
lead to elevation of serum creatinine. This kind of high level of serum
creatinine can not be reversed.
4. People who are overworking can lead to the temporary elevation of serum
creatinine.
5. Patients whose high blood pressure is not under control or they present
mass proteinuria for a long time can lead to high level of serum creatinine
gradually.
The above are the main reason why your creatinine level is high. If you are
suffering from high level of creatinine, you should pay attention to your
diet.
1. Limit your intake of salt
Patients can suffer from high blood pressure and swelling if they have
elevated creatinine. Too much salt can aggravate the illness condition.
2. The supply of protein
Patients can have azotemia when they suffer from kidney insufficiency and
their serum creatinine level is high. At this time, they should take high
quality but low amount protein, which can be found from lean meat, eggs, milk
and so on.
3. Vitamin
If you have high level of serum creatinine, you should consume food
containing Vitamin A, Vitamin B and Vitamin C.
