High level of creatinine (CRN) in the blood stream is an indication of malfunctioning of kidneys. If the excess creatinine is allowed to remain in the blood, it may further damage the kidneys. This toxic chemical is not very soluble in water and thus it does not naturally get flushed out of the system. However, doctors have found that administration of doses of N-Acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and ascorbic acid (AS) or Vitamin C, help in reducing creatinine level in the blood stream. Doctors prescribe these antioxidants to many of those who are diagnosed with kidney ailment. However, the exact molecular mechanism of how NAC and ASC make CRN water soluble and thus excreted through urinary track was so far not clear.
