Can Intake Aggravate High Creatinine Level

Many patients may wonder can high protein intake will aggravate high creatinine level.

What is the relationship between high protein intake and high creatinine level? Well, to be more precise, how can diet affect the creatinine level? Patients with kidney disease should pay attention to their diet, especially when the illness condition develops into Renal Failure. Here, we will talk about this issue and hope the following information will be helpful to you.

Once you are diagnosed with kidney disease, your kidneys are damaged more or less. In general, they are advised to have low-salt diet, that is because the kidneys are unable to remove the extra water, in order not to cause the water and sodium retention and aggravate the swelling. Also doctor will suggest you have low protein diet, that is because the glomerular filtration membrane has been damaged, more protein you take, more protein will be leaked out. In order to meet the need of human body for protein, patients with Renal Failure should have the right amount of high quality of protein, like milk, fish, eggs and lean meat and so on.

High protein intake can increase the burden on kidneys and make the filtration pore of glomerular filtration membrane bigger and bigger, then kidney function becomes worse and worse. So when the blood flows through kidneys, kidneys become more failed to filter the creatinine and other waste products from the blood, so creatinine keeps existing in the blood and the levels of creatinine increases.
High creatinine level and any other symptoms are caused by the damaged kidneys, which should be known by patients with Renal Failure. The treatment should be the one that cures only the symptoms, but not the root cause of disease.
