When your kidneys are damaged, creatinine level will elevate. High creatinine level is an indicator of kidney damage. Diet plays an important role in lowering elevated creatinine level. Well then, what is best food for high creatinine level?
Long-term control over the creatinine levels may be best done by a healthy diet. Consume more barley and oats, and consume more whole wheat instead of white grains. Also instead of eating red meats, consume some protein-rich foods like carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, cucumber, lettuce, sprouts, radishes, cranberries and turnips.
Besides, cucumber and bitter gourd can cause your kidneys to produce more urine.
On the contrary, you need to avoid some foods:
Foods with too much refined sugars
You should restrict the consumption of coffee, sodas, alcoholic beverages and try to drink water, coconut water, and fresh fruit juices instead.
Foods with rich arginine
Chocolate, seafood, beer, soybeans, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanuts and other nuts should be avoided because they may increase the creatinine production in the liver.
Dairy products
Some dairy products like cheese, milk, yogurt, cream, ice-cream, butter, etc are shown to worsen kidney damage.
High phosphorus and high potassium foods
With kidney disease, your levels of phosphorus and potassium may be higher than normal. You should avoid consuming foods that contain excessive phosphorus such as cheese, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, nuts, bacon and tahini. Also high potassium foods like prunes, avocados and nuts should be limited.
