How to lower Creatinine and What causes Creatinine Levels to Rise

Creatinine is an organic acid that is readily found in human muscles, animal meat, and fish. When creatine is broken down, they produce a byproduct that is called creatinine. When you work-out, your muscles produce creatinine which is a waste product from the body.

Creatinine is released into the blood where your kidney is expected to filter it out to be released through the urine. If your kidney fails to process creatinine due to kidney failure or any other cause, creatinine accumulates in the body and can lead to a more severe and life-threatening kidney problems called uremia.

Signs and symptoms of uremia include vomiting, swelling of the legs, nausea, constant headaches and fatigue.  Actually, doctors use creatinine tests when they want to determine the functionality of your kidneys.

The normal range of creatinine in the blood should range between 0.6 to 1.2 mg/dL for men and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dL for women. Men have greater muscle mass, and that is why their level is higher than that of the female. These levels are easily removed by your kidney if you are healthy.

Creatine supplement is a product that is widely used by bodybuilders to increase the masses of their muscles. It is also used by athletes to give them more energy. People with diabetes or kidney problems may consider doing regular creatinine tests before taking creatine supplement products if they must. Diabetes may affect kidney functionality and may cause creatinine levels to rise abnormally. The use of creatine supplements can worsen the situation.

WHAT CAUSES CREATININE LEVELS TO RISE?

In a healthy person, creatinine levels may rise due to your diet and lifestyle. The kidney helps to excrete it from the blood. Whether you are healthy or not, various factors can cause your creatinine levels to rise abnormally. These factors include,

• Vigorous exercise. Strenuous exercise cause your muscles to release a lot of creatinine in the blood. People who do vigorous exercise tests for high levels of creatinine in the blood during their activities. This may not affect the person if their kidneys are able to remove creatinine from their blood on time.
• During body and muscle building activities. A bodybuilder lifts heavy objects and causes a lot of muscle movements which produces a lot of creatinine. It is risky to do this activity if you have a problem with your kidney as creatinine levels will continue to rises and can cause serious problems.
• 
  
• Excessive of protein intake. Protein increases the level of creatinine in the blood. Red meat and fish contain creatine which when consumed by the human being it is converted to creatinine and released into the blood. You may consider being a vegetarian if you have kidney problems.
• 
  
• Creatine supplements. Creatine supplements are widely used to supply energy and build muscles. They are mainly used by bodybuilders and athletes to boost their performance. Young men have been found to use creatine supplements to build their muscles due to peer influence.
• 
  
• Kidney disorder. Kidney disorders can affects the functionality of the kidney. When the kidney is not able to remove creatinine in the blood, creatinine levels rise. Dialysis can help in this case to lower high levels of creatinine in the blood.

HOW TO LOWER CREATININE LEVEL

The most effective way to lower creatinine levels in the blood is to diagnose the underlying cause and look for lasting treatments for the cause. This will help to stop creatinine levels from rising to a dangerous level permanently.

However, its use should be directed by a qualified physician. Researchers have shown that salvia could increase ultrafiltration rate as well as clearance rate of creatinine in the blood.

Other herbals that are said to help clear creatinine in the blood include chamomile, cinnamon, green tea and stinging nettle. Discuss this with your doctor before using any.

MEDICAL WAYS TO LOWER CREATININE LEVELS

In order to stay healthy, your body needs to be clean. Remove any waste products produced by your body as soon as possible. One of an essential organ in the body that helps clean the body is a kidney. The kidney filters any waste products in the blood and allows clean blood to flow back in the systems.

Dialysis is a process where a machine is used to remove wastes from the blood. The blood is directed to the machine and back to the human body. The process may take hours and can be costly.

When you realize you have any kidney problems, you should stop taking any form of unprescribed medications. Many medicines contain elements that are not present in your kidney. Dialysis is not a daily process because of many factors such as the cost involves and the effect it will have on your body.

Some medicines contain inhibitors such as ACE inhibitors, NSAIDs and even cyclosporine which can increase creatinine levels and cause further damage to your kidneys. Also, avoid any food with high levels of glucose such as sugar in your diet.

The level of creatinine in the blood, in this case, should be minimal and able to be removed from your kidney. However, when the levels of creatinine in the blood continue to increase, there must be a problem with your kidney.
