What are the symptoms of high creatinine?
1. Edema occurs in the body. Most patients start with eyelid edema, and some patients can start with lower limbs. When edema is severe, it can affect the whole body.
2. Frequent micturition, excessive urine output, urgent micturition and dysuria are mainly manifested as increased micturition times, increased urine output, micturition inhibition, and pain in lower abdomen and urethra during micturition.
3. There is pain in the waist, and the essence of pain is dull pain. Patients with surgical diseases may have severe colic.
4. Most patients with high creatinine may have elevated blood pressure, and severe cases may have hypertension, which is one of the main manifestations of high creatinine.

Six reasons for high creatinine
1. Primary renal insufficiency, such as complicated infection, including cold, pneumonia, intestinal infection, urinary tract infection, etc. In a short time, serum creatinine will increase.
2. Water loss in the body, such as fever, sweating, decreased water consumption, polyuria leading to blood concentration, decreased renal blood flow and increased serum creatinine.
3. Serum creatinine may increase irreversibly in patients with primary nephropathy after using drugs that damage the kidney.
4. Patients with primary nephropathy may have oliguria or even anuria due to recurrence, and may be complicated with acute renal insufficiency, leading to an increase in serum creatinine.
5. Tired life, poor rest and not paying attention to the details of life will also lead to a short-term increase in serum creatinine.
6. Essential hypertension, uncontrolled blood pressure, long-term moderate, massive proteinuria (the total urine protein in 24 hours exceeds 1 g or even 1.5 g) can progress slowly, and serum creatinine increases unconsciously.

What can you eat to lower creatinine?
1. Take enough vitamins, eat foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B2 and vitamin C, such as apples, carrots, spinach, almonds and chestnuts, and choose high-quality and low-protein foods, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish and soybeans.
2. Eat more foods with low phosphorus and sodium. Low-phosphorus foods include tomatoes, melons, taro, beef, yogurt and so on. ; Low-sodium foods include millet, corn, beans, potatoes and other foods.
3. Eat more foods with low potassium and fat. Low-potassium foods include jelly, eggs, pumpkins, sea cucumbers and duck eggs. ; Low-fat foods include kiwi fruit, broccoli, fish and chicken breast.
4. Limit the intake of salt and protein, observe whether there is hypertension and edema, and control the intake of salt, mainly a low-salt and salt-free diet. Because high creatinine will damage renal function, it is necessary to control protein intake and choose a high-quality protein diet.
