IgA Nephropathy can cause kidney function to lose gradually and increase high creatinine level. Creatinine 4.87 means patients’ kidney disease has aggravated into end stage. Correct foods to eat can help manage IgA Nephropathy and high creatinine 4.87.
1. Low-sodium foods
In addition to high creatinine level, swelling and high blood pressure are often common complications of IgA Nephropathy. In order to reduce the burden on kidneys and protect the remaining kidney functioning tissues, patients are suggested to eat low-sodium foods.
2. High-quality protein
High-quality protein can provide more essential animo acids and reduce the production of protein metabolic waste products. In view of this, patients are suggested to eat high-quality protein including fish, lean meat, fish and milk. Besides, the total amount of protein intake should be controlled according to patients’ urea level.
3. Fruits rich in vitamin C
According to the research of Turkey, fruits rich in vitamin C have lowering-creatinine properties, so patients can choose these fruits to control their creatinine level and improve their kidney condition. Cranberry, cherry, lemon, etc, are all good sources of vitamin C. IgA Nephropathy patients can add some fruits to lower their creatinine 4.87.
4. Fruits and vegetables having diuretic property
Foods with diuretic property can help stimulate kidneys to produce more urine and filter more waste products and toxins. Finally, creatinine level can come down to some extent and patients’ kidneys can be protected. Besides, if patients have high blood pressure or swelling, diuretics are also helpful to manage these symptoms.
The above foods can help manage IgA Nephropathy patients’ creatinine 4.87. However, the detailed food list should depend on patients’ illness condition. To get an individual diet plan, you can leave a message below or email to kidneyservice@hotmail.com.
