During physical activity, muscle cells break down and form a waste product called creatinine. When the kidneys function normally, they remove creatinine from the bloodstream and eliminate it in the urine. When kidney function declines, creatinine builds up in the blood stream and causes problems that include fatigue, itchy skin and nausea. Special dietary restrictions help reduce creatinine levels.
High-potassium foods
Avoid include tomatoes, oranges, potatoes, chocolate and nuts. People with kidney disease should avoid the sodium content of foods such as fast food, frozen meals, canned vegetables, pickled or cured meats, canned soups, cheese, salted pretzels and salted potato chips. Foods that contain high levels of phosphorus include corn, chocolate, dairy products, fish and eggs. Red meat, poultry, fish and nuts have high levels of protein.
High-phosphorus foods
Patients with chronic kidney disease may have trouble in filtrating excessive electrolyte such as phosphorus. High phosphorus level in serum may increase burden of kidney and will further elevate high creatinine level. The followings are high-phosphorus vegetables. Black beans, chick peas, garbanzo beans, lentils, split peas and so on.
High Glycemic Foods
Because uncontrolled diabetes can lead to kidney damage, foods to avoid are those that have a greater impact on blood sugar. Diabetes Net offers a list of foods that are most likely to raise blood sugar, called high glycemic index foods. White, refined flour should be replaced with whole grains, such as whole wheat, oats and barley. Sugary foods such as cakes, cookies, pies and candy should be limited or eliminated.
Diuretic Foods
When high creatinine is caused by dehydration, it is important to avoid foods that will further dehydrate the body. Caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea and colas should be replaced with regular water or fruit juice. At least 64 ounces of fluid should be ingested daily. Besides, you should pay attention to limit or avoid the following foods if you have high creatinine level.
-Avoid caffeine, alcohol, carbonated drinks.
-Avoid sugary foods.
-Avoid salty foods.
-Reduce the intake of red meats, white bread, white flour, dairy products, etc.
-Limit the intake of sodium.
The above are foods recommended to you to avoid high creatinine. Besides, it is more significant for you to take effective treatment timely to improve kidney function. If you want to know more information, please consult our online doctor or kidney-support@hotmail.com.
