Question 1

lisinopril --- ?can it elevate creatinine levels?

Accepted Answer

Lisinopril: Can elevate creatinine levels.

Question 2

creatinine  between 1.57 & 1.42 over past 6 weeks. had nephrectomy many yrs.ago. egfr today 50 . any dietary adjustments? on lisinopril, toprol (metoprolol).age 69.

Accepted Answer

Ask  your: Doctor if any other antihypertensive med might be more appropriate, given your slightly depressed kidney function.  I don't think any dietary adjustments will make any difference, but you should be careful with medications, including otc meds.

Question 3

i have htn. i am on hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) 25 once a day and lisinopril 20 bid. my creatinine level 8.9. gfr is greater than 60.  bun is 13. kidney failure?

Accepted Answer

These #s: Don't make sense as creatinine suggests renal failure but GFR is normal?

Question 4

can i take lisinopril, amlodipine, and furosemide for high creatinine and protein in urine, while i also have high uric acid levels?

Accepted Answer

See details: Have you seen a nephrologist?  You can take this combination but more recent data suggest you should take therapy to normalize the serum uric acid as well.

Question 5

is lisinopril 5mg once daily safe for a kidney pateint with createnine 1.2?what alternative can be used?

Accepted Answer

See below: Lisinopril is actually an excellent choice for hypertension in a patient with kidney disease. There are some conditions where you would not want to use the drug, but they are not common or likely:

-renal artery stenosis (determined by kidney ultrasound)
-acute kidney failure

Question 6

my father has createnine 1.2 and urea nitrogen 21, he takes 5mg lisinopril everyday, is it safe for him? he has only one kidney.

Accepted Answer

It is reasonable: Lisinopril is a reasonable choice for him for blood pressure lowering and kidney protection based on the information you've provided, assuming that he has not been given a diagnosis of renal artery stenosis.

Question 7

lisonopril and spiranolactone dosage too high, caused acute kidney failure.  stop meds, got better. creatinine levels fall monthly, now 1.6 is that ok?

Accepted Answer

Renal failure: It's not at the norm, but probably better than it was. I hope you'd be able to get back to normal soon.

Question 8

got the results of a blood test. low sodium and creatinine..i'm on lisinipril and hctz (hydrochlorothiazide). could that have caused it? also have pain under low-right ribs

Accepted Answer

Too much alcohol: The combination of lisinopril, HCTZ, (hydrochlorothiazide) and 3 alcohol drinks a day can cause low sodium. That's too much alcohol - sorry. The pain under your right ribs may be originating in your liver or gall-bladder as both live there. That should be checked. Low creatinine (even below the lab reference) is not harmful and reflects your muscle mass and normal kidney function. (I presume you're pretty small).

Question 9

what is lisinopril used to treat?

Accepted Answer

Uses of lisinopril: Lisinopril (l) is used to treat hypertension and proteinuria with or without hypertension. Patients with proteinuria, due to diabetes or glomerulonephritis, are treated with l to reduce proteinuria, which is a good thing to do. It is a member of the ace-i inhibitor class of drugs.

Question 10

what are other names for lisinopril?

Accepted Answer

Generic: Lisinopril is the generic name for this ACE inhibitor.  The brand names are Zestril (lisinopril) and Prinvil.
