A member asked:

I was prescribed losartan, lercanil, furosamid 1 month ago. my creatinin is 1.06, (0.66 a year ago). i replaced ace inhibitor with an alfa-blockator prazosin and furasamid with hidrohlothiazid. does beta-blockator elevate creatinine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Creatinine: Beta blocker does not directly elevate creatinine. However, the other medications mentioned---ACE inhibitor, furosemide, hydrochloride are more likely to do so. Stay well hydrated. Follow up with your physician to evaluate continuing need for these medications.

Very good morning doctors. I was told Losartan HCTZ can raise both serum creatinine & BUN and lower eGFR. I take Losartan HCTZ and it seems to work great. How do I resolve this if I need a water pill diuretic to help control blood pressure?
