Plenty of water upon waking, avoid high protein foods, and dairy, walk every day. Track your levels every day. This is the best you can do to avoid complete kidney failure.

These both should help answer your request also.

Many things can raise your level - pulminary disease, heart disease, diabetes, tumors, blockages, MEDICATION. Don't mean to scare you but this is NOTHING to fool around with, self diagnose, obtain info on the Internet, self treat/medicate. Everyone is different and there is no "one cure for all."
There are other threads on this subject posted on AMHD which are medically inaccurate OR insufficient.
Get health care information of this magnitude from health care professionals (and Tickle is one).
JKT, you are a darling, you don't know how much I appreciate this comment from you.Quote:

You might:
* Increase your physical activity
* Drink plenty of water
* Eat more Omega 3-rich foods or take Omega-3 supplements.
* Eat plenty of fresh fruit, fresh garlic, raw onions, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, radishes, sprouts, and cucumbers.
* Eat oat bran and tofu
* Switch to Soy milk
* Cut down intake of red meats, dairy, tea, coffee, sodas, white bread, white flour, butter and sweets.
Sorry but "drink plenty of water" can be very dangerous, bad advice if this person has chronic kidney disease and his kidneys cannot handle the overload. The same with eating "plenty" of fruit which contains a lot of sugar.
You certainly are entitled to your opinion and I'm not taking that away from you but I lived with this problem and advice from other than a medical professional can be very dangerous.
When I get to work, if it's not too busy, I will post REAL medical literature on the subject.
The whole key is drinking water upon rising. This flushes out the bladder, kidneys from any 'standing' hard levels that have accumulated while reclining.
Unfortunately you all cannot access the info that I have here at the hospital if I paste a link. It's patient education put out by the facility I work for. I can only print this info out to give to patients.
I have, however, done some research with the doc I work with in between deliveries, and this is a link that he suggested that you can access.
Creatinine Blood Levels – Complete medical explanation regarding the production of this chemical waste molecule on MedicineNet.com
It's interesting to note that age and physical condition play a part in what is normal for each individual.Quote:
As the kidneys become impaired for any reason, the creatinine level in the blood will rise due to poor clearance by the kidneys. Abnormally high levels of creatinine thus warn of possible malfunction or failure of the kidneys.
Quote:
Muscular young or middle-aged adults may have more creatinine in their blood than the norm for the general population. Elderly persons, on the other hand, may have less creatinine in their blood than the norm. Infants have normal levels of about 0.2 or more, depending on their muscle development. In people with malnutrition, severe weight loss, and long standing illnesses the muscle mass tends to diminish over time and, therefore, their creatinine level may be lower than expected for their age.
A person with only one kidney may have a normal level of about 1.8 or 1.9. Creatinine levels that reach 2.0 or more in babies and 10.0 or more in adults may indicate severe kidney impairment and the need for a dialysis machine to remove wastes from the blood.
Now, how to DEAL with an increase in creatinine is solely dependent upon the actual cause.Quote:
The most common causes of longstanding kidney disease in adults are high blood pressure and diabetes mellitus.. . Serum creatinine can also transiently rise after ingestion of large amount of dietary meat.
Let me also add that drinking water can be contraindicated if the cause of the increase in creatinine is CHF (congestive heart failure).
Thank you very much to all who have send them advises to me and to take proper care for reduction of creatinine
I think you misunderstand. We HAVEN'T given you advice to take proper care of the reduction.Quote:

Are you sick? Why did the doctor order this test? Do you have kidney problems? Do you have congestive heart failure?

No I have not fell sick and I have also no kidney problems. Myself only with my own went and get this test. My previous history is: " In August, 2009 I am feeling giddiness and then approached the physician. He asked me to go for Tyroid test and in that test I had thyroid and since then usingQuote:

By that time only I go for CBP and Creatinine test too. By that time it is 1.2 and later came down to 1.1. On 7.7.2010 again I repeated and it is 1.2. Again On 23.7.2010 I did it by that time it is 1.4. But in this gap I consumed Diary products like cheese, butter. In the same time some infection is also in my body. Due to that the level might have increased. Presently I have no urinary problems, motion problem. Everyday I used to walk 71/2 KMs and do PT for 1/2 hour. My regular diet is after noon in lunch only 3 pulkas without Oil and Veg. curry without salt and one cup of rice with butter milk. Night also same.
You have no idea what is related to your creatinine level and what is not. You need to discuss this and any other health issues with a physician.
I agree with Judy.
There is obviously a health issue that is causing this constant increase in your creatinine levels.
This NEEDS to be discussed and diagnosed by your physician before this causes other complications.
Although I am a registered nurse, I am not able to diagnose anyone in person or on the internet.
Please make an appointment with your doctor to discuss the causes for this increase.
Now my creatinine level decreased from 1.4 to 1.2. When I given blood for test at that time my bladdor is full of water and it might be one of the cause for high reading
You apparently don't want to take anyone's advice - why do you continue to post?
