Question 1

my creatinine level is 1.33 and i want to lower it naturally. how do i go about it?

Accepted Answer

A few things: Weight loss will help. The less you weigh the less creatinine production there is and the less filtering the kidneys need to do. Stopping / avoiding non steroidal antiinflammatory medications will help improve kidney function immediately. Otherwise, there is not much else 'natural' that will help lower a creatinine (improve kidney function).  Good luck.

Question 2

how to decrease creatinine levels?

Accepted Answer

May not need to: Lab testing isn't "one size fits all." a lab may list 1.2 as the "upper limit of the reference range", but a muscular patient can and should have a higher level. When i was lifting daily, my creatinine stayed at 1.6, and an elite bodybuilder's is likely to 2.0 or so. The level itself doesn't make you sick; it's just one piece of information to tell whether there's kidney disease.

Question 3

how can i lower my creatinine level?

Accepted Answer

Care for kidneys: Today's "normal" creatinine / egfr levels for men often fail to take a well-muscled man's normals into account; if you're 1.6 or below (or even a bit higher if you're really strong), i wouldn't worry. If you're higher, limit salt intake, protein intake if your physician thinks helpful, control your atherosclerosis risk, stay fit to stave off any tendency to diabetes. Good luck.

Question 4

how to lower creatinine level of 2.2?

Accepted Answer

Why is it 2.2: Lots of causes. Could mean kidney disease, med side effect, several other things. You'd lower it by correcting correctable causes, if there are any.

Question 5

how do i lower my b.u.n and creatinine levels?

Accepted Answer

BUN and Creatinine: It depends on the cause of why your levels are elevated.  Dehydration, medications, acute illness can often cause an elevated BUN and creatinine, so stopping nsaids, drinking plenty of fluids can help.  However, often the bun/crt increase due to worsening renal function and for that you need to see a nephrologist.

Question 6

please suggest what foods and herbs can lower my creatinine level?

Accepted Answer

Lowering creatinine?: You really are not able to lower your creatinine (c) level by using herbs and foods. How high is it?  You should see a physician to check if you have a cause for your elevated c, such as hypertension and/or diabetes, for example. The sooner you see a doctor the quicker a treatment plan can be mapped out for you. Good luck.

Question 7

broccoli is good to lower creatinine level?

Accepted Answer

Worthless: Except as part of a well-informed system of healthy eating to manage your diabetes. There's no "superfood" to promote good health, and if your creatinine is a bit up as a result of your diabetes, sensible diet and especially medication and fitness will go a long way to keeping you and your kidneys healthy. Glad you're health-focused and best wishes.

Question 8

how can i lower my creatinine and bun levels?

Accepted Answer

Only if due to : Dehydration. If the elevation is due to dehydration you may lower it by drinking water. However, in almost all instances elevated BUN and especially creatinine. Warrant seeing your doctor asap.

Question 9

can ketosteril be used to lower the 150 creatinine level?

Accepted Answer

Only as part of: It will be somewhat useful if combined with a low protein diet, usually with dialysis. Consult your kidney specialist. If you have kidney failure, do not experiment on your own with any vitamin, supplement, or diet.

Question 10

what can i do if my serum creatinine level is 1.5mg/dl. is it high and if so how can i lower it?

Accepted Answer

High creatinine: You may not be able to lower your creatinine level of 1.5, as it depends on what caused it to be that high. You need to see a nephrologist and have a 24 hour urine (u) collection for creatinine clearance and protein. Blood will be collected when the u is returned to the lab. You need a renal ultrasound done to see if you have any obstruction in your urinary outflow tract.  Good luck.
