Does Consumption Of Nettle Leaf Help In Increasing Creatinine Levels?

Nettle leaf tea
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
I understand that you have a steady creatinine. Serum creatinine of 1.3 mg/dl is normal for your age and you need not worry about it. There is always a steady decline in GFR after the age of 40. There are no proven reports indicating Nettle leaf or saliva will help.
Here are some of the proven ways to retard the progression of kidney disease
1. Losing weight. The ideal BMI should be below 22 kg/meter square
2. Control of hypertension below 140/90 mmhg
3. Use ACE/ARB medications. I usually use Tab Envas 2.5 mg once a day and titrate it upwards to the best tolerated dose
4. Avoid nephrotoxic medications like painkillers and few antibiotics
5. Restriction of salt below 3 g/day
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
