High Creatinine Level: Symptoms, Treatment and Diet

Creatinine is the product of muscle metabolism, which is released into the blood and then excreted with the urine. Generally speaking, the normal level of creatinine is 44-133μmol/L. When the serum creatinine is more than 133μmol/L, it means there is something wrong with kidneys, such as renal insufficiency or renal failure.

In the daily life, how to judge if the creatinine is high, you can see the following symptoms of high creatinine level:
1. Edema, hydrothorax or ascites.
2. High blood pressure.
3. Frequent micturition, urgent urination, odynuria
4. Lumbago (back pain)
5. Hematuresis (hematuria, haematuria)
6. Diuresis, oliguria, or anuria
7. Much bubble in the urine.

Attention should be paid to the daily diet, and a proper diet can make your illness condition relieved:
1. Controlling the intake of salt: because sodium in the salt can result in high blood pressure and edema. If the illness condition is serious, it is completely necessary to strictly control the intake of salt.
2. Controlling the intake of protein: because proteolysis produces a lot of waste, which will worsen the damaged kidneys. But you can choose some high quality protein, such as fish, egg whites and so on.
3. Taking some vitamin: High creatinine patients should have foods that contains rich vitamin A, vitamin B2 and vitamin C, which is good to one’s immune system.

When the creatinine level is high, active treatment should be taken:
Dialysis is one of the treatments. It can expel the waste from the blood. In another word, in order to recover, patients should eliminate the waste, water and salt through manual work. There are two kinds of ways to dialysis: hematodialysis (hemodialysis)and peritoneal dialysis. Hematodialysis is to use a special device to replace kidneys, while peritoneum is to use the peritoneum as a filter to discharge the waste in the body.
Kidney transplant is also a good choice, but the kidney source is scarce and after the transplanting, patients have to eat anti-rejection drugs.
