Re: Creatinin levels high
Keeping hydrated will lower the number when you have blood work drawn, but it is somewhat artificial. Creatinine is a byproduct of muscle metabolism. As you use your muscles (for everything from exercise to breathing) cr. is produced. If your blood levels are high, this is because your kidneys are not filtering it properly and there isn't really anything you can do to lower it. The best you can do is maintain a healthy lifestyle which includes low sodium, and keeping your blood pressure normal.
What was your level (I'm assuming it was a blood level because cr. levels in the urine don't really mean anything and if it's high in the urine it just means your kidneys are filtering it well).
