To be honest, never try to reduce creatinine artificially by drinking lot of water. creatinine is just a lab test and per se it won't damage our health. Actual culprits are other molecules called as uremic toxins. We measure creatinine because of convenience. Instead of concentrating on reducing creatinine, try to maintain healthy lifestyle like avoiding pain killers,BP control, vegetarian food,daily 30 min walking etc. Best of luck.If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
