Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

As cholesterol is 357, food must be cooked with less oil. If possible please use olive oil for cooking. Salt must be given in little quantities with no extra salt serving.

With a creatinine of 4.5, a lower protein diet to minimize waste products in the blood might help. As her body processes protein from foods, it creates waste products that the kidneys must filter from your blood. To reduce the amount of work her kidneys must do, eating less protein might be good.

You can cook vegetables like cabbage, garlic, cauliflower, garlic, onion, spinach and pumpkin. Give small servings and since she also has diabetes please give her a diet with balanced carbohydrates. Bread can be substituted for rice.

Fruits like apple, water melon, pomegranate, pineapple can be given. Though added sugar must be avoided.

Egg white and fish are rich sources of protein and can be given in small amounts.

Please check blood sugar and creatinine levels regularly.
