The Diets for Patients with High Creatinine

Many patients of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) have high level of creatinine when their kidney function has been damaged seriously. In normal cases, creatinine should be eliminated out of the body after been filtrated by the glomerulus, while when the glomeruluses are damaged, the creatinine will be tetented in the body and damage the kidney and other parts of the body. Then, except for the medical treatment, diets play an important role for the high creatinine.

First, control the intake of salt

Generally speaking, during compensatory stage of renal insufficiency and azotemia stage also have high level of creatinine and are companied with various clinical symptoms, but it is during the moderate damage, patients can adjust the intake of salt according to whether patients have hypertension and edema and adopt low salt diets or non-salt diets respectively.

Besides, if the patients just have high creatinine without oligutia and edema, they should not stop taking in salt and water. If the patients are companied by edema, they should strictly stop taking in salt.

Second, supply enough vitamin

Polycystic Kidney Disease patients with high level creatinine should take more food rich in vitamin A,B2 and C.

Third, the supply of the protein

With the development of the disease and the damage of the renal function, many patients have the azotemia and renal insufficiency. In order to control the further aggravation of the renal function and avoid increasing the burden of the kidney, patients should control the intake of the protein and choose high quality protein.
