No food reduces creatinine, but low protein diet is indicated for those who have kidney disease to reduce the work load on the kidneys and decrease the rate of kidney function decline over time.
Individuals who eat a vegetarian diet tend to have lower serum creatinines.
No food decreases creatinine. Drink 2-3 liters of water a day and definitely follow up with a local kidney specialist to determine the cause of the high creatinine in order to be treated appropriately.
High protein diets such as meats and fish can increase muscle mass and therefore creatinine levels. Vegetables are not high in protein and will therefore reduce muscle mass and creatinine levels. However if you have permanent kidney damage you can slow down the disease by avoiding high protein diets and that includes protein shakes and bars
