It is important for kidney patients to have diet restrictions, especially for those patients whose kidneys have been so severely damaged that they can not discharge waste products like creatinine out of body.

Inappropriate food intake can not promote creatinine excretion. What is worse, it can increase the concentration of creatinine, leading to the aggravation and deterioration of the disease. Therefore, if you have increased creatinine, you must be strict in diet.

And try to choose high quality protein such as meat, milk and eggs.

4. Take vitamins

Patients with kidney disease, especially those who have increased creatinine, have low immunity and need more vitamin supplements. Therefore, try to eat foods high in vitamin A, vitamin B2 and vitamin C.
