Hello, It s Faheem from Islamabad Pakistan. I need some advise from you regarding my father s Kidney . My Father is 57 years old,diabetic with high blood pressures usually 160/80 170/90. His sugar level is bit controlled but as per Doctors advise his sugar is maintained due to kidney issue. His latest creatinine serum is 4.16 which increased in last 3 months from 1.98. Medicine he is taking are Lipiget, Loprin, Stress tab, Ammryl,Lophos,Hydrolyzine. He was also using Aproval 300mg but doctor discontinue as increase in creatinine. After h doctor advised to take Lasix 40mg (2 times a day) and mini press 1mg (3 times a day) but creatinine goes to 4.16 from 3.07. Now the doctor is advising to go for testing tissues in the kidney , we have stopped using Lasix and Minipress for the time being could you please advise any option.
Hello! Thanks for being with us. Diabetes and hypertension if not adequately controlled leads to gradual decrease in kidney functioning over a period of time. Here in fathers case also same factors could be responsible for kidney injury and increase in creatinine level. Chat Doctor.  There is no harm in using lasix and minipress in this case. Lasix increases urine output, avoids fluid overload and help in decreasing blood pressure. Minipress is also safe to use in this case to decrease blood pressure. Following parameters should be monitored while being on these
