Herbs to Lower High Creatinine Level in Blood

High creatinine level in blood is problem faced by chronic kidney disease patients. Few western medicines can be used to lower high creatinine level down effectively, so Chinese herb is a good option for high creatinine level patients.
Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that is naturally produced in the human body where it is primarily stored in the muscles to supply energy to the body’s cells. When creatine is metabolized, creatinine is produced and eliminated from the body through the kidneys. When kidneys aren’t functioning well, levels of creatine in the body is increased causing problems. For high creatinine level patients, the following herbs are helpful.
Chamomile
Chamomile is another herb that may help lower creatinine levels in the body. In a 2005 study published in the "Journal of Agriculture Food Chemicals," researchers found that, compared to control samples, decreased levels of creatinine appeared in those drinking chamomile tea. This benefit lasted up to two weeks post-treatment, and may have been due to high levels of antioxidants present in chamomile.
Dandelion
Dandelion leaves have a slightly bitter flavor that goes well in salads and they are increasingly available in produce and grocery stores. Vitamins A, B-complex, C and D are found in the leaves. Dandelion also provides the minerals iron, potassium and zinc. Dandelion has diuretic effects -- it promotes increased urine production. Creatinine is normally excreted out of the body through urine, so when urine output is increased, much more creatinine will be brought out of the body as well and consequently, high creatinine level is lowered down.
Corn Silk
Corn silk is probably the best single herb to use in improving kidney function. Creatinine in blood is normally excreted out of the body through kidney and impairment of kidney function is the real cause of high creatinine level. Herb of corn silk show effects in improving kidney function, so with this herb, high creatinine level can be lowered down effectively.
