What to do if creatinine is high? Diet method is effective

For the phenomenon of high creatinine, we can take dietary adjustment methods to alleviate it. First of all, everyone needs to limit the intake of salt, and then ensure adequate protein and vitamins. In addition to diet, patients should also pay attention to quitting smoking and drinking.

1. Salt Limitation:

Generally speaking, although patients in the compensated and azotemia stages of renal insufficiency have high blood creatinine and begin to show various mild clinical symptoms, due to moderate pathological damage, their salt intake can be controlled depending on the presence or absence of hypertension and edema, and they can be given a low-salt or salt-free diet.

2. Protein supply:

Protein supply: Because patients in the later stage develop azotemia and renal insufficiency, in order to control the further deterioration of renal function, protein intake should be controlled and a diet rich in high-quality protein should be selected.

3. Vitamin intake:

Patients with renal failure and high creatinine should choose foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B2, and vitamin C.

If the renal insufficiency only causes renal failure with high creatinine but no oliguria or edema, the patient does not need to stop drinking salt and water and maintain a low-salt diet. If you have severe edema, high blood pressure or even heart failure, you should strictly limit your salt intake.

4 In addition to diet , patients with high creatinine should also pay attention to limiting tobacco and alcohol. Because the harm of tobacco and alcohol is mainly to the kidneys and blood vessels, the more you smoke and drink, the greater the damage to the kidney blood vessels, the earlier the renal artery sclerosis is aggravated and the sclerosis of the glomerulus is promoted. Therefore, whether the patient has normal renal function or abnormal renal function and high creatinine, they must strictly quit smoking and drinking to avoid causing greater damage to the kidneys.
