Tips to Lower Creatinine Levels Naturally

Kidney disease is a progressive disorder as it ultimately leads to kidney failure and further kidney transplant or  dialysis. During kidney failure, the level of waste material increases as it accumulates in the body.  Creatinine levels can be controlled by managing blood pressure, diabetes, fluid intake, acid and muscle activity.

Here are a few tips that will help the patient to lower creatinine levels naturally :

1. Low protein diet

Protein plays an important role in increasing creatinine levels in the body. A patient must reduce protein intake as it helps to lower creatinine levels fast. |If a patient eats non-veg, dairy products and other high protein products than it increases the level of creatinine. So, patients are advised to decrease or restrict protein in the diet. Apart from it, a patient can also take protein which is easily absorbable or easily digestible.
