Introduction
Creatinine is a metabolic byproduct of muscle metabolism, primarily produced by muscle cells and excreted through the kidneys. Patients with high creatinine levels can lower their levels through dietary management, medication, and hemodialysis. It is recommended to pay attention to personal diet, drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, reduce creatinine in a healthy manner, and undergo regular medical checkups at the hospital.
Creatinine is a metabolic byproduct of muscle metabolism, primarily produced by muscle cells and excreted through the kidneys. Patients with high creatinine levels can lower their levels through dietary control, medication, and hemodialysis. The specific approaches are as follows:
1. Dietary Control
Patients with elevated creatinine should reduce intake of protein-rich foods and limit consumption of fat, water, and salt. They may consume more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as pumpkin, cabbage, radish, and pear, to help alleviate symptoms.
2. Medication
Since creatinine is excreted by the kidneys, it accumulates when kidney function is impaired. Under medical guidance, patients may take medications such as Haikun Shenxi Capsules or medicinal charcoal tablets, which can adsorb toxins in the intestines and promote their elimination through feces.
3. Hemodialysis
For patients with severely impaired kidney function, hemodialysis can effectively remove excess creatinine from the blood, thereby reducing serum creatinine levels.
It is recommended to pay attention to personal diet, drink plenty of water, maintain a light diet, adopt healthy methods to lower creatinine, and undergo regular follow-up examinations at the hospital.
