Creatine is an amino acid that is found in the muscles. One study suggests that creatine does not lower homocystein levels in chronic hemodialysis patients. However, these patients were also taking vitamin B12 and folate. Therefore, a firm conclusion cannot be made until further research is performed.


Avoid if allergic or hypersensitive to creatine. Early research suggests that creatine may reduce muscle cramps that are often associated with hemodialysis. However, further studies are needed to confirm this claim.
 Avoid if taking diuretics (e.g. hydrochlorothiazide or furosemide). Use cautiously with asthma, diabetes, gout, kidney disease, liver disease, muscle problems, stroke, or with a history of these conditions. Avoid dehydration. Avoid if pregnant or breastfeeding.
