🔹 Introduction 🔹 1. Increase Hydration 💧 ✅ Flushes out creatinine & prevents dehydration-related kidney stress.💡 Best drinks for kidney health:✔ Water (8-10 glasses daily) – Helps remove excess creatinine.✔ Lemon water – Aids kidney detox.✔ Cranberry juice (unsweetened) – Prevents infections & supports kidney function.✔ Barley water – Reduces creatinine naturally.✔ Herbal teas (nettle, … Read more
Kidney inflammation, or nephritis, can impair the kidneys’ ability to filter waste and maintain fluid balance, leading to a decreased estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR). Understanding the impact of inflammation on kidney function is crucial for implementing strategies to reduce inflammation and improve filtration efficiency. The Impact of Inflammation on Kidney Function Inflammation in the … Read more
Maintaining optimal kidney function is essential for overall health, and diet plays a pivotal role in supporting the kidneys’ ability to filter waste from the blood. Incorporating specific foods into your daily regimen can help improve kidney filtration and potentially boost your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Understanding eGFR and Kidney Health The estimated glomerular … Read more
🔹 Introduction 🔹 How Exercise Affects Creatinine Levels ✅ Muscle Breakdown – Creatinine is produced when muscles break down energy (ATP).✅ Strenuous Exercise (Weightlifting, HIIT, Long-Distance Running) – Causes temporary creatinine spikes.✅ Dehydration from Exercise – Reduces kidney filtration, leading to higher creatinine.✅ Muscle Growth – More muscle mass = naturally higher baseline creatinine. 🚨 … Read more
Introduction Creatinine is a waste product generated by muscle metabolism, and the kidneys filter it out of the blood. High creatinine levels often indicate reduced kidney function or an underlying kidney issue. Many people ask: Can diet alone lower creatinine levels, or are other lifestyle changes necessary? The answer depends on kidney health, hydration, and … Read more
🔹 Introduction 🔹 When High Creatinine Is NOT Due to Kidney Disease ✅ Dehydration – Low water intake reduces kidney filtration.✅ High-protein diet – Red meat, dairy, or excess protein shakes increase creatinine.✅ Strenuous exercise – Heavy workouts temporarily raise creatinine.✅ Certain medications – NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Naproxen), antibiotics, and diuretics.✅ Creatine supplements – Breakdown of … Read more
