How to reduce kidney creatinine?

When my father's creatinine levels went up slightly, his doctor advised him to strictly control his high blood pressure and reduce salt in his food. Managing the underlying BP helped stabilize his kidney numbers.

I was researching kidney health and found that high consumption of red meat and cooked creatine supplements can raise levels. Switching to a more plant-based diet helps ease the filtration load on the kidneys.

Creatinine is a direct indicator of how well your kidneys are filtering waste. Elevated levels should never be ignored or self-treated at home; please consult a nephrologist for proper guidance and diagnosis.

Drinking barley water (jau ka paani) regularly is a good traditional way to help flush out toxins from the kidneys. However, if you have swelling in your feet or face, please see a doctor immediately.

First thing, if you are taking any gym supplements, stop them immediately as they spike creatinine. Make sure to get a repeat kidney function test (KFT) done in 2 weeks to monitor the trend.

My doctor told me my high creatinine was just because of severe dehydration and working out too hard without drinking water. Now I carry a 2-litre bottle everywhere like a baby, but hey, the blood reports are normal now!
