WHAT IS CREATININE?

𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐄?

✅ Creatinine is a waste product made by your muscles as part of regular, everyday activity.

✅ Your kidneys filter creatinine from your blood and send it out of the body in your urine.

✅ CREATININE can be maintained at normal level because our KIDNEYS remove creatinine from blood.

✅ A serum creatinine blood test can help doctors understand how well your kidneys are functioning.

✅ Creatinine can be tested in blood or urine.

✅ SERUM CREATININE is imperfect and NOT 100% ACCURATE.

✅ You may be told to not eat cooked meat for 24 hours before your test.
Studies have shown that cooked meat can temporarily RAISE  creatinine levels.

KIDNEY DISEASE & DIARY PRODUCTS

 

Oats Are Incredibly Nutritious!

 

● A 1/2 cup serving of cooked oatmeal has 80 to 115 mg potassium and 90 to 130 mg phosphorus.

 

TAKE NOTE:

 

Can kidney patients drink milk?

 

● Dairy products contain high amounts of phosphorus, potassium, and protein and should be limited on a renal diet. 

● Despite milk's high calcium content, its phosphorus content may weaken bones in those with kidney disease.

 

Best Milk Alternatives.

 

● Choose soy, almond, cashew, or rice milk for less phosphorus and less potassium than cow's milk.

● Avoid cow's milk substitutes that are "Enriched" or have the word phosphorus or "phos" in the ingredient list.

THE KIDNEYS

 ▶️ Why are the kidneys important?

● Your kidneys remove wastes and extra fluid from your body.
Your kidneys also remove acid that is produced by the cells of your body and maintain a healthy balance of water, salts, and minerals (such as sodium, calcium, phosphorus, and potassium) in your blood.

▶️ The kidneys are powerful chemical factories that perform the following functions:

● remove waste products from the body
● remove drugs from the body
● balance the body's fluids
● release hormones that regulate blood pressure
● produce an active form of vitamin D that promotes strong, healthy bones
● control the production of red blood cells

Loss of function.

 

⬤ Some research suggests that chronic inflammation could also play a role in a range of conditions, from cancer to asthma.

 

⬤ Can inflammation cause kidney problems?

 

Inflammation leads to scarring in the glomeruli, which can sometimes lead to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end stage renal disease (ESRD).

 

⬤ What are the worst foods for inflammation?

 

Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and pastries.

French fries and other fried foods.

Soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages.
