Foods to eat to keep creatinine level down

My Urine Creatinine dropped from 37 to 27 in just the last week. I read that could be the cause of taking in less protein, or issues with the liver. I am at Stage 4 with a GFR of 29. Any thoughts from the group?

Hi, @randyr. have you had your serum creatinine tested as well as the urine creatinine and if so, does it also reflect a drop? Normal serum creatinine range is 0.55-1.02 mg/dl and normal urine creatinine ranges from 40 to 300. My serum creatinine is high at 2 mg/dl and my neph told me to restrict my protein to 35 grams or less daily hoping to get the level down. So it seems logical to me that eating less protein might very well decrease your urine creatinine. Has your care team done a liver panel? Maybe you can discuss what it all means with your doctor. Wishing you well!
