Today, we will talk about six tips to control creatinine levels. Stay tuned til the end of the video, as this video can change the life of a Kidney patient.
00:21.1
00:28.7
We will talk about the formula, Six point formula and avoid Spices. Yes, you heard that right!
00:28.8
00:32.7
Spices are generally to be avoided.
00:32.8
00:44.5
But SPICES here means S for Sugar, P for Protein pressure, I for Infection, C for Caffeine/Climate, E for Exercise, & S for Salt.
00:44.6
00:49.4
It has often been seen kidney patients are very much bothered by escalating creatinine levels.
00:50.4
01:00.9
Before this, let's learn, What is Creatinine? We will discuss these four What, Why, Where, and How?
01:01.0
01:04.2
You will attain clarity when you get acquainted with these four things.
01:04.3
01:08.2
Creatinine is a protein formed in muscles.
01:08.3
01:16.6
Along with this, Why? Because muscles contract and relax, and so creatinine is released.
01:16.7
01:24.7
Creatinine is made of protein. These four things you should know What? Why? Where? and How?
01:24.8
01:28.1
Now we will talk about reducing creatinine. There are two ways to reduce the creatinine.
01:28.2
01:33.0
Either you control its production or reduce it afterward.
01:33.1
01:36.5
Now we will discuss the first tip. Avoid Sugar.
01:36.6
01:51.0
Why avoid Sugar? As the glucose level goes across 170-180 in the blood, the sugar starts coming out through urine.
01:51.1
01:58.8
You may have seen Sugar + written on reports as your urine tests are done. + sign comes when your glucose level goes beyond 170-180.
01:58.9
02:03.7
The increase in blood sugar level increases the workload on the kidneys.
02:03.8
02:11.4
An uncontrollable sugar causes harm as it goes to other organs of the body like the heart, pancreas, and liver.
02:11.5
02:24.7
It is necessary to control sugar so that Kidneys won't get harmed. You can get the HbA 1c test done to determine the average sugar of 3 months.
02:24.8
02:31.3
Next, we will come to our second tip. Protein should be avoided.
02:31.4
02:36.4
Protein is present in pulses non-veg, including Chicken, Mutton, Fish, and Eggs.
02:36.5
02:42.5
Milk and Milk products like curd, buttermilk, and lassi.
02:42.6
02:46.7
What can you replace it with? You can take carbohydrates to prevent the weakness caused by protein deficiency.
02:46.8
02:59.3
We provide carbohydrates (protein-free diet) for 3-4 months, and carbohydrates can be used as a substitute for protein.
02:59.4
03:11.6
If any patient has proteinuria or has protein leakage in urine, we provide dal which the sick patient eats.
03:11.7
03:18.5
It is moong dal. Consuming moong dal meets their protein requirement but in a little amount.
03:25.3
03:31.7
In Proteinuria, protein is given in a small amount but eventually required to avoid Protein.
03:31.8
03:41.8
There are two ways to reduce creatinine. Either we remove it through urine or reduce its production.
03:41.9
03:46.7
Next comes our third tip, Avoid High Blood pressure.
03:49.8
03:53.7
Around 60% of Kidney patients are struggling with High Blood pressure.
03:53.8
03:58.8
How much BP should a Kidney patient have? The normal BP range is 120/80.
03:58.9
04:07.3
When diastolic Blood pressure elevates reaching 120/90, then it is quite dangerous for your Kidneys.
04:07.4
04:11.7
It shows your kidneys are getting damaged.
04:11.8
04:18.8
If you have any of these four, whether it is Hypertensive nephropathies, IgA Nephropathy, Diabetic Nephropathy,
04:18.9
04:23.7
Or Polycystic Kidney Disease. But it is necessary to control your increasing BP.
04:23.8
04:59.0
an escalating BP can
