Will taking metformin hcl increase the creatinine level in the blood?

Metformin: Metformin is the first choice drug for type 2 diabetes. All else being equal that should not affect your kidney. That said, if you develop kidney disease while taking Metformin, that is not very likely to be because of metformin but does need attention.
