How to reduce creatinine levels and How to Avoid Dialysis?

There are number of patients suffering from kidney failure and looking for alternative ways to reduce creatinine levels and avoid dialysis.

Tips to Reduce Creatinine Levels and Avoid Dialysis

The breathing exercises – Role of oxygen in healing – Oxygen is given when a person reaches hospital in any emergency situation. The role of oxygen in reviving the dead cells is absolute. The breathing exercises described in yoga like “Pranayama” have been found to be quiet effective in keeping things under control and may care many health conditions and even reverse many pathological degenerative states of cells.

The Bhastrika Pranayam, The kapal bhati pranayam and the anulom vilom pranayam all done for 1 hour in fresh air daily give great results.

Diet – There is no specific renal failure diet but still I would like to share my views and guide patients about renal failure.

Proteins – Since kidney failure leads to accumulation of urea and creatinine in the body which are the byproducts of protein metabolism, so you may have to restrict protein intake. Little protein intake (about 50 gm to 100 gram ) is recommended if the protein albumin is below the normal levels in the blood, otherwise try to avoid it. Be in touch with the diet specialist / nutritionist for specific diet for you.

Water – Water intake also needs to be restricted if there is no urine outflow or decreased urine formation. If the urine is coming naturally without a problem, then the fluid intake especially coconut water can be increased. Coconut water helps in healing ailing kidneys by removing excess toxins from the body.

Salt – Salt causes water retention. If there is already water accumulating in the body, please restrict salt intake. It should also be restricted in cases of high blood pressure.

High Uric Acid – The imbalance in protein metabolism is triggered mainly due to increased consumption of alcohol, red meat and too much protein diet without much consumption of liver detoxification at regular levels. Navkarshik churna (Ayurvedic blood cleanser) should be added for people having high uric acid levels. It is sometimes secondary to renal failure. The pain can be lowered or controlled by using Joint aid plus capsules or tablet Kaishore Guggul described in our herbal tablets section.

Low Haemoglobin levels in Renal Failure – Usually patients with renal failure are accompanied by low hemoglobin levels because a protein molecule to promote red blood cells formation called erythropoietin comes from healthy kidneys. The kidneys are not making this glycoprotein anymore because they are failing. Thereby this is given by injections like Epogen, Procrit or Eprex in case of low hemoglobin levels due to renal failure. They can be continued but along with all these supportive measures we have observed that doing regular breathing exercises like bhastrika, kapal bhati, anulom vilom, the hemoglobin levels increase quickly within a span of 20-25 days (if done 1 hour regularly).

Oxygen needs hemoglobin to bind itself in the body and travel to various cells. Body starts making hemoglobin in order to saturate the high oxygen levels taken by the patient ( not using oxygen cylinder but by natural deep breathing) A lot of technical data and research is needed in this field but we recommend that patients with low hemoglobin should do these breathing exercises along with other conventional or Ayurvedic medicines being taken.

1. Black chick peas should be consumed – If the protein levels are ok. Black chick peas are having good iron content. Since high protein is a source of urea and creatinine, so the quantity should be limited.
2. Egg white – Again considering the fact that high protein diet is restricted in renal failure but still if the albumin levels in the blood are low, then it should be consumed.
3. Milk – It is a rich source of proteins and water. So it has to be avoided in severe renal failure patients. 1 cup of skimmed milk can be recommended under guidance of dietician.
4. Salads and fruits – Most of the salads and fruits which are rich in potassium. If the potassium levels are high, these should be avoided. Coconut water, Aloe vera juice are rich in potassium levels, if the potassium level is high, then they can be avoided otherwise they can be given.
5. Corn silk – Being diuretic in nature, it can be used.
6. Chicory – Chicory leaves have been found to have great importance in reducing creatinine levels. If can find them, consume the leaves 3-6 grams everyday. It is popularly known as “kaasni” in India and 90 % of the people are selling Chicory roots. Chicory leaves are recommended.

Answer – There is actually no specific diet for renal failure as renal failure is caused by some underlying disease which is usually diabetes, blood pressure, drugs or tumors. In case of high creatinine levels the protein intake should be restricted. Diabetic people should follow the diabetic diet. Salt intake should be reduced. Do not consume alcohol or meat. Keep sugar levels under control if the kidney failure is due to diabetes. Keep blood pressure under control by any means. Avoid medicines which caused renal failure. In general, avoid nuts, avoid high protein diet like meat, cheese etc. If the potassium levels are high, then avoid bananas and multicolored fruits and vegetables. Though they are rich source of vitamins, you can boil the vegetables or strain them with warm water to reduce the content of potassium in them.

Once it is clean, and it does not build up again, then you may never have to undergo dialysis again. Usually underlying disease, uncontrolled diabetes & uncontrolled blood pressure is the cause. Keep the underlying disease in control, then you may not have to undergo dialysis again. We recommend you doing breathing exercises regularly. These also reduce the toxins overload in the system.
