A member asked:
Is it safe to take metformin with microalbuminuria and diabetic nephropathy if these conditions are improving with lisinopril?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Metformin ; kidneys: Metformin should not be used if there is early kidney failure, which is usually defined as a creatinine of 1.4 or more. Microalbuminuria is an early sign of nephropathy, and your creatinine may be normal, and metformin may still be ok. Lisinopril will slow the progression of nephropathy, but you also need to control glucose and blood pressure.
