Someone asked why they get high creatinine levels on the keto diet. First, what is creatinine? It’s a waste product from muscle metabolism. (Side note: a waste product from dietary protein is called urea.) Every day your body converts creatine to creatinine.

The higher level of creatinine on keto isn’t pathological. Here are the five reasons why they are high:

1. Consuming way too much protein, especially cooked meat. Ideally, you want to eat three to six ounces of protein, or as much as seven, at a meal. If you’re a big person perhaps a little more.
2. Taking too much creatine supplementation; try cutting back
3. Exercising excessively especially if it’s intense, because of muscle physiology. Cut back and take longer to recover.
4. Having an injury or inflammatory condition, which could itself be pathological
5. Having a problem with your gallbladder or liver, which could also be pathological

If you’ve ruled out the first three, you may want to get a more thorough check from our doctor into a possible inflammatory condition or problem with your gallbladder and liver.

Now you know why you have high creatinine levels on the keto diet.
