lisinopril kidney damage

There isnt a fast cure for most chronic kidney diseases at the moment, so the treatment is mostly supportive - keep the blood pressure low, protect the remaining kidney function, prevent further damage and delay the renal failure. Lisinopril and Simvastatin is the correct direction. In my opinion, what you need to do is to 1. stick to your medication. 2. Kidney function test every 6 months. 3. Urinalysis and 24 hour urine collection every month. 4. Low salt intake and a nutritious diet.

Two dates missing on a current Electronic Health Record (EHR) had led me to dig up an old one. The dates are in the allergy section and they occured three weeks apart. The source was Lisinopril and then all ACE-Inhibitors, and the reactions were 'Renal Artery Stenosis' and 'INCR CREA due to R.A.S.', respectfully. I've been told this could be the source of my kidney atrophy and the reasion I have ESRD.

s also had 7 kidney stones in the last 5 months. Could Lisinopril and his excessive sweating be a contributing factor?

Looking for good new...found out I am pregnant and am taking Lisinopril 10mg. Does anyone have any experience with this?

m 70 and have had declining kidney function (creatinine from 1.0 about 10 years ago to 1.4 average and BUN 25-35 last four or five). The nephrologist I had been seeing for a few years said I didn't have to see him any more unless the blood test levels changed, as they have been stable, as well as no issues in the urine. I've read calcium channel blockers, specifically, are contraindicated for those with chronic kidney disease. I am currently on that per another physician.

t do that my husband has now suffered permanent kidney damage. What are your thoughts on this and do you think that his creatinine level will come down any more? Thank you!

Recent head injury, hyperthyroidism, renal artery stenosis (by dopplar studies or MRI), abnormal kidney function (by kidney function tests), hyper function of adrenals, Cushing’s syndrome, abnormal liver function etc would have been ruled out. You should consult a cardiologist for high BP. To diagnose the cause tests like kidney function, liver function, lipid profile, thyroid, adrenal gland function, EKG, ECHO, tread mill etc are done.

Then if your BP is high, you could likely cause damage to your heart and kidneys. I have a dear friend who has high BP and went on meds. He stopped them because they interfered with his love life if you know what I mean. Problem is his kidneys were then destroyed and he was on dialysis for ages until he got a kidney transplant. Happy ending, right? No, that kidney failed, he was on dialysis again for years until he got another kidney. Ouch.

Since the beginning of this year I have been getting pretty ill. I would feel ok one minute than the next I would have some diarrhea and some vomiting most recently I had a lot of vomiting diarrhea and when I get these episodes I would sweat profusely and get verry weak and tired.

I forgot to mention I do have stage 2 kidney damage which GFR of 60

I have stage 4 kidney failure. I'm confused about why I have it and if I am on the right meds. I have DM type 2 and I have cysts in my kidneys. Does this mean I have Polycystic kidney disease, or does it just mean I have benign cysts? I take Lisinopril 5 mg daily. My doctors say that the kidneys don't hurt, but I have constant pain. Is this unusual?

when you set up this medhelp user name you choose your sex and age. and you selected 20 years old and male and that doesnt match up with how you describe yourself. your profile also says your a student while you also say your a doctor. your a "doctor" you should know. your not going to get help here.

The normal range for BUN (at my hospital) is 8.0 - 24.0. Sounds like yours borderline high on the normal range. The foam in your urine, does it manifest with frequency? it can be an indication of high level of protein in your urine. I would suggest for you to drink more water but with your heart condition that might not be the best route. You should consult with your doctor again about your kidney just to be safe. Prolong proteinuria can be harmful for your kidney.

I take 40 mg. of Lisinopril twice per day; Diovan 320mg - twice per day and Clonidine HCL 0.2 mg at bedtime. My Nephrologist wants me to take the Clonidine in the mornings also, but I cannot function - I am too dizzy and weak. I have had a stent placed in the artery leading to my left kidney and my pressure has gotten higher.

I am scared because I am taking 10 mg of lisinopril and just found out I am about eight weeks pregnant. I have done some research and I what I have found is that it can cause birth defects and even death. Does anyone have any experience with this?

But, if the GFR has significantly declined from a previous test result, this can be an early indicator of kidney disease requiring medical intervention. The sooner kidney dysfunction is diagnosed and treated, the greater odds of preserving remaining nephrons, and preventing the need for dialysis.

However, this could also be due to some medications such as the combination of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide that is used to treat high blood pressure. Lisinopril is in a group of drugs called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) while Hydrochlorothiazide is in a class of diuretics. Tingling in the hands and feet along with dizziness, headache and cough are some of the effects that are observed in this drug combination.

Last week, I went to my OBGYN for a PAP and the extreme pain during the exam makes my dr. believe I have a kidney stone problem. (Test results were normal) My blood pressure in the office was 207/130. I have never had BP problems in the past. I am 61, female and about 25 lbs overweight... (I am working on the weight issue.) Shocked at this BP level, Dr. immediately prescribed triamterene and lisinopril and told me to contact an internist..

t strenghtened in 6-9 months will be looking at being placed on transplant list. Dr. wants to place me on Lisinopril also, but blood pressure drops with all the meds, to a level that I can't function. I know it is a wait and see process as to whether my heart will strengthen. I also have mitral valve damage, but they don't seem to be too concerned about this right now. They say if my heart back to a normal size the mitral valve might return to its normal position or might not.

A kidney cysts is basically a bag of fluid that is on the surface or interior of a kidney. These occur more frequently as we get older and are rarely of any consequence.. If the cyst meets the specific ultrasound criteria for diagnosing a cyst, then further work-up need not be pursued. These would not be expected to degenerate into cancers nor would they be expected to resolve.

I was put on a low salt diet, and a daily baby aspirin regimen plus 25mg Spirinolactone, 10 mg Lisinopril once a day, and 6.25 mg Carvedilol twice a day. Echocardiogram in April showed a slight improvement of EF from less than 20% in December, to 25-30%. I was advised to get a bi-v icd, which was done May 15. The device has been checked twice since release from hospital, everything is working extremely well, no complications.

m quite concerned about this and have had kidney problems as a child. The feeling I have now is like it was 50 years ago. Any thoughts? I'm waiting for the results of the blood work to see if anything shows up.

I am on coreg,lisinopril and sironolactone. I also have 3 month old twins to boot. How do you feel with an EF of that? I am so tired all the time.

Hi, puffiness could be either due to kidney disorder or heart malfunctioning. Please get blood urea, creatinine levels along with ECG and ECHO to rule out cardiac cause. Other possibility is hypothyroidism which again can be diagnosed with blood tests. Also keep regular monitoring of blood pressure and don’t skip the medications.

I went from Stage 3 (54% kidney function -GFR) to stage 2 kidney disease (73% function - GFR). I did this by following the kidney diet really closely. It usually doesn't work that good - but it does often help you from getting any worse. I really miss my tomatoes though. They are now a 'special' treat. Stage three is moderate damage. Right in the middle of things. If you are high stage 3 than you may never need dialysis. A lot will depend on you.
