januvia kidney clearance

Been on januvia for a week. Blood sugar is not going below 120 ...and as high as 250. Was on glyburide. Had trouble with BS dropping as low as 40. Doc thought I would do better with this drug. I have only one kidney so was prescribed a 50mg dose. Will it regulate after I have been on for awhile?

I also take powder welchol at supper. I would like to take my 1000mg of Januvia at bedtime to help lower my morning blood sugar readings that usually run in the 150's to 160, Any cons to taking the Januvia without food at bedtime?

The creatinine clearance is a test for global kidney function, it can normally be well predicted from serum creatinine levels and well established formulas. The 24 hour urine collection used to determine creatinine clearance is however more accurate. Instead of serum creatinine Cystatin C in serum can be tested, it reflects kidney function better than serum creatinine. The urinary micro albumin is much more sensitive to determine stress to the glomeruli at an early stage.

Just wanting to know what I can do to improve the kidney function or at least slow the progression of the disease. I have an appt. with a kidney dr. but not for a month yet. Would appreciate all input and your experiences with this. GFR 38 and creatinine 1.4.

I had a 24 hour creatinine clearance test done and it showed 2 abnormal results: a high creatinine clearance of 145.7 (I am a 37 y.o. F) and the other was " UR PROTEIN, CALC" which was 230.4 when the reference range is <149.1. The urine protein was <4 so what is the difference between the urine protein and the other UR PROTEIN,CALC? and then there is marginally high, high, and way high--is 230.4 really high? It seems like it. Help!!

i m asking as haw the use of sitaglipin help in conlrolling the sugar levels.

I am a genotype2b virus. and advanced cirrhosis and 3rd stage 3 kidney disease. Can anybody tell me the complications that may occur during treatment as I know that the interferon and rib attacks the other organs. Should I wait for the new treatment. I am also taking mental pills for depression and anxiety. I would be grateful for any feed back.

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) describes the flow rate of filtered fluid through the kidney. Creatinine clearance rate (CCr) is the volume of blood plasma that is cleared of creatinine per unit time and is a useful measure for approximating the GFR. Both GFR and CCr may be accurately calculated by comparative measurements of substances in the blood and urine, or estimated by formulas using just a blood test result (eGFR and eCCr).

With kidney issues and a Creatinine clearance (eGFR) of less than 60 for a person over age 12, recommended dose is 60mg per day. However, talk to the nephrologist to be sure.

Hi, I recently posted about severe side effects I was experiencing with the drug Januvia , I had severe stomach pains and sore throat. My doctor has now prescribed Galvus and said they are from the same family as Januvia. Has anybody tried this drug? if so did you experience any side effects ,especially stomach pains? . It may sound stupid but I am a little scared to take Galvus after what happened before.

creatinine clearance test, urea clearance test, urine osmolality test, or urine protein test. I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.

Is Cifran CT safe to take for diabetic kidney patient female of age 65 years with creatinine level of 5.8, urea 99, creatinine clearance of 5?

New Onset or Worsening Renal Impairment Tenofovir is principally eliminated by the kidney. Renal impairment, including cases of acute renal failure and Fanconi syndrome (renal tubular injury with severe hypophosphatemia), has been reported with the use of VIREAD [See ADVERSE REACTIONS]. It is recommended that creatinine clearance be calculated in all patients prior to initiating therapy and as clinically appropriate during therapy with VIREAD.

Hi there, The course of disease and prognosis varies in every patient and may depend on the stage of disease and other parameters like creatinine clearance etc.Pregnancy is usually uneventful unless there is poorly controlled blood pressure, a bad histological picture or poor renal function with a creatinine clearance of less than 70 ml a minute.

I am being considered as a kidney donor and have recently undergone a creatatine clearence test. It showed a very low level of clearence 65 and I was turned down. Surprised I did some reading. This test is the ratio of blood creatitine to urine (24 hr) creatitine. Since my blood and urine were taken weeks apart I questioned the validity of the test.

Before meds and at 2 month mark my kidney level was unchanged (gfr and creatine good). I know Viread has that risk long term of kidney damage, which worries me since most will need it longterm or life, as of what's available now. I have read taking baking soda is good for kidneys. Should I start this, or only of I see changes in labs? Anything else I should do, as I am not too familiar with kidneys but don't want damage either.

A year ago, my doctor gave me Lescol/Fluvastatin to take because I am a high risk for heart disease due to genetics and diabetes. At that time my Lipids were within normal range. After a month, ALT/AST results were very elevated. and medication was discontinued. Since then, I've gone through ultrasound, HiDa Scan and finally diagnose of fatty liver. The Gastroenterologist recommended Liver Biopsy to check for liver damage.

I have been on Metformin, Januvia and Glimeperide for a few years. They are not controlling my diabetes. She wanted me to try Victoza and give up the Januvia. I got over fear of giving myself the shot, but on the 3rd day I began to get sick. On the 4th and 5th days I couldn't even go to work. Changed shot to before bed instead of morning and it made no difference. After a little over a week I stopped it. Lost 5 lbs cause I couldn't eat anything.

What does this sound like, and what can I do about it? I am a Type 2 Diabetic, and take Metformin, Januvia, and Zoloft for anxiety.

It would be good to know the diagnosis of your left kidney. To evaluate the function of your kidneys, a 24 hour urinary creatinine clearance is done. Or a repeat ultrasound for your kidney size after six months to evaluate if you’re the size changes. Take care and regards.

No, low creatinine levels don't usually indicate a kidney problem. Low creatinine clearance which results in a "high serum creatinine level" does suggest a renal problem. Usually a low creatinine level is a sign of healthy kidney function but there are exceptions. A greater muscle mass means a higher creatinine level and thus women generally have lower creatinine level than do men.

It seems I am doing right thing by taking coq10. My purpose is for blood pressure. L-carnitine exists naturally in human body and is biosynthesized by liver and kidney, so I guess it doesn't hurt and may relieve the function if liver and kidney are impaired. I used to take alpha-lipoic acid and l-carnitine, but stopped them recently.
