What Precaution Should Take If Creatinine Level Is 1.4

What precaution to take if creatinine level is 1.4? Many patients are concerned about the question as high creatinine level is associated with kidney damage. Now, please follow me and find out the answer.

What does creatinine 1.4 mean?

Creatinine is the metabolite products of body muscles which should be discharged out of the body by the kidneys. And creatinine level is kept within the normal range (0.5-1.2mg/dl) by the healthy kidneys. In clinic, creatinine level won’t increase until a half of renal function has been damaged. Through the comparison, we can see that creatinine 1.4 is little higher than the normal range, which possibly indicates 50% of renal function has been damaged. Of course, not all high creatinine level is caused by kidney damage. Other conditions like dehydration, improper diet, excessive exercises, etc also can induce high creatinine level.

Well then, what precaution should take for patients?

In order to prevent 1.4 creatinine level from increasing, patients are suggested to do the following things:

1. Reduce strenuous exercises

2. Reduce or avoid creatine supplement

3. Have a low-protein diet

4. Drink more water

5. Have a low-salt diet

6. Quit smoking and drink moderately

7. Eat foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B2, vitamin C, etc.

Although creatinine 1.4 is not very higher, patients are not suggested to ignore the problem if it is related to kidney damage. Once it reaches to 5 in some day, Dialysis will be recommended to patients. In the condition, patients should take medical treatments to normalize creatinine level, such as Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Hot Compress Therapy, Medicated Bath and so on. All of them are very popular in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital, China. To know details of the therapies, free to contact with our Online Doctor or sending email to kidneyservice@hotmail.com!
