Three years ago, I had a kidney function test done. I had high levels of creatinine and protein. The second test showed these levels to be higher. I was also freaked out.

I cut down on my protein intake and started drinking Ocean Spray cranberry juice light (made with Splenda). My next test (three months later) showed NO protein in my urine and my kidney function was perfect. It has been perfect since. I have to say, I didn't start drinking cranberry juice for my kidneys, I just liked it. I read later how it can have a significant impact on your cholesterol and your kidneys. I drink about 1/2 gallon of the stuff every week. I found it cheapest at Winco if you have one in your neighborhood.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes for you. It was pretty much a miracle for me.
