How to Help CKD Patients Lower High Creatinine Level

Creatinine is a waste product in the blood created by the normal metabolism of muscle cells. Healthy kidneys take creatinine out of the blood and remove it into the urine to leave the body. When the kidneys are not working well, creatinine builds up in the blood. For CKD patients, with the development of the condition, high creatinine level seems to be unavoidable. Then how to lower high creatinine level for CKD patients?

Low Protein Diet

Nitrogen in amino acids (proteins) is a cause of progression of CKD, hence less nitrogen (proteins) in diet is recommended. However, an uncontrolled protein restriction can lead to malnutrition which worsens patient's general condition and can even threaten survival, so it is advisable to take amino acid/ proteins without nitrogen.

Ketosteril

The use of ketosteril according to the prescription of your doctor will allow an appropriate intake of amino acids without a corresponding “nitrogen load”
Ketosteril are the nitrogen-free analogues of essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of all proteins. Treatment with Ketosteril  together with protein-restricted diets is referred as Keto Acid Therapy.
How Ketosteril act inside the body?

Ketosteril capture the nitrogen within the body and convert themselves into amino acids. Malnutrition is thus prevented and the workload of the kidney to excrete nitrogen-containing waste products is reduced. Thus the progress of CKD slows down and dialysis can be postponed.
