To manage elevated serum creatinine levels, particularly given your age and existing chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and a history of cardiac issues, it is essential to adopt a comprehensive Ayurvedic approach that addresses both your kidney health and overall well-being. First and foremost, focus on a balanced and kidney-friendly diet. Limit your intake of protein, particularly animal-based sources, as excess protein can strain the kidneys. Instead, emphasize plant-based proteins like lentils and legumes. Additionally, reduce sodium intake to help manage blood pressure and decrease fluid retention. Incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables, especially those known for their diuretic properties, such as cucumber, watermelon, and celery, which can help flush toxins from the kidneys. Hydration is crucial; aim to drink adequate amounts of water throughout the day, but be mindful of your overall fluid intake based on your medical advice, especially with heart issues. Herbal teas made from Dandelion root, Hibiscus, or Nettle can be beneficial in supporting kidney function and reducing blood pressure. In Ayurveda, consider taking formulations like Punarnava Mandur and Gokshuradi Guggulu, which are known to support kidney health and manage creatinine levels. Kanchanar Guggulu can also help in maintaining healthy body weight and managing metabolic issues. Incorporating gentle physical activity, such as walking or yoga, can improve circulation and overall health while helping to manage blood sugar and blood pressure levels. Stress management techniques like meditation and deep-breathing exercises can also be beneficial for overall health.

Managing serum creatinine levels effectively requires attention to both lifestyle and diet, alongside a consideration of your unique dosha balance. Creatinine, being a waste product from muscle metabolism, indicates how well the kidneys are filtering it out. A rise from 1.7 to 2.1 might concern, and proper steps can help stabilise it. Start with what you intake. Hydration is crucial—think of water as your kidneys' best friend. Keep sipping on warm water through the day, but avoid overloading your system since too much can be stressful for the kidneys. Also, avoid excess salt and protein in your diet, as they can burden your kidney function. In Ayurveda, we often look to minimizing ama (toxins) as a route to wellness. Reduce processed foods, which puts unnecessary strain on digestion. Swap out heavy, oily dishes for light, easily digestible meals that keep agni (digestive fire) strong. Lentils, green leafy veggies and whole grains like quinoa offer nourishment without being taxing. Triphala, a revered Ayurvedic formula, could be beneficial due to its mild diuretic properties and it helps keep bowel cleanse. Taking a teaspoon of triphala powder with warm water before sleep may aid in detoxification. Also, a concoction of boiled coriander seeds taken on empty stomach, couple of times a week can support kidney function. Don’t miss the importance of physical movement; it helps circulation but keep it moderate, strenuous activities can raise creatinine levels temporarily. Try gentle yoga or walking. Stress and sleep, often overlooked are as vital; high stress can spike creatinine levels, so explore pranayama or meditation to calm your system. Get enough restful sleep since our body’s repair machinery works when we’re resting. Please ensure regular check-ups to monitor your levels and consult a healthcare professional to prevent any potential serious conditions from developing. If the levels continue to rise or if you have symptoms like swelling or unusual fatigue, get medical attention promptly. Though Ayurveda provides valuable tools, it can't replace necessary medical interventions if conditions are serious.
