Yoga to reduce creatinine in blood

IgA or immunoglobulin A is a protein which helps us fight infections. IgA nephropathy occurs when this protein settles down in the kidneys. This deposition over a period of time can cause the kidneys to leak blood and proteins in the urine. This is the possible reason why your creatinine levels are high. Before starting any form of exercises, medications or even yoga asanas it is very important to get an approval from your specialist. Try ardha matsendrasana or spinal twist for IgA kidney nephropathy.

Ardha matsendrasana or spinal twist – sit on a yoga mat with spine straight and feet together, legs outstretched. Raise your right leg and place it against outside of the left knee with soles firm on the floor. Stretch your left arm and place fingers on toes if right foot, place the right arm around the back of your waist in such a way that your palm rests on the left hip bone. This is the first stage of this asana, before proceeding to the next level please practice this pose correctly. Throughout the exercise your spine should be straight and head should be in the upwards direction. Do not slouch as this will not only spoil the look of this pose but will also decrease the benefits provided by this pose. So to keep a check on your posture this exercise can be performed in front of a mirror. After taking the position, take slow deep breaths from mouth holding the breaths for an instance. While exhaling first turn your head, then shoulders and then back towards your right. Remain in this position for as long as you feel comfortable, if you feel any kind of pain then you can immediately relax but gradually. When you want to release this position unwind slowly and relax completely.
