lisinopril kidney failure

I've posted this story a couple of other times, but I think in this case it needs to be repeated. I have a friend who was taking lisinopril, and everytime he tried to do anything that required a bit of energy, such as walking through his house, his BP dropped to the point of taking him to his knees. He has since quit taking the lisinopril, but the effects most likely will be with him for the rest of his life. My husband was on lisinopril for approx.

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?

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.

On the 30 day follow up from hospitalization and another echocardiobram I was told my heart function was up to 30%. My lisinopril went from 10 to 20 mg. On my 30 day follow-up office visit from the following cardiocatherization I was told my heart was functioning at 25% even though I was feeling better than before I had the cardiac event in December. Even though I was feeling better the doctor increased my lisinopril to 40mg. I don't get it.

Hi, carvedilol is a beta blocker and is indicated for the treatment of mild-to-severe chronic heart failure. Lisinopril is angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, used to treat hypertension and heart failure, So, check with your doctor why the medications have been prescribed, it may not be for hypertension alone.

Enalapril has been shown to lower the death rate in systolic heart failure as does Lisinopril. It is difficult to distinquish what medicaation is better than another without knowing what other medications ae taken, any side effects, etc. The following link may be able to provide the information you are interested to know on a more detailed evaluation. Thanks for the question, and if you have any further questions or comments you are invited to respond. Take care, Ken http://www.ehealthme.

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?

How preposterous is it that I could have had 2 different reactions to Lisinopril, one, the Acute Kidney Failure, and two, neck, chin and throat angioedema. So could it be possible that the difficulty speaking was mistaken for a stroke. And seeing as the surgeon was 1 year out of a fellowship didn't recognize the signs or intubate me quick enough, so a hypoxic upper airway obstruction occured. Can this have similar results as a stroke?

I have been sober since and began taking prescribed Lisinopril and Coenzyme Q10. My ejection fraction went up to 40% and stayed that way for years. 2 months ago I began to have severe breathing problems and the Echo showed my ejection fraction was reduced to 35%. The breathing problems progressed and I thought I had pnuemonia and went to the hospital where they said I had Congestive Heart Failure w/ ejection fraction of 25%.

So congestive heart failure has definitely been ruled out? Have you ever been tested for pure autonomic failure? You might check ndrf website, an or that talks about dysautonomia. Did you also get your catecholamines tested when you were in the midst of one of these episodes? Also, did they do a plasma free metanephrine blood test on you? If you had a pheochromocytoma, it can emit catecholamines intermittantly and have quiet periods where your catecholamines would be normal.

I would be suspicious that you may have had peripartum cardiomyopathy (heart failure related to pregnancies) or the heart failure is related to the atrial fibrillation and this needs to be controlled much better. Would recommend trying to get you out of a.fib if possible.

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.

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.

I would like to know if an increase in my Bystolic and lisinopril will cause and increase in weight loss. My Cardiologist increased my byistolic too 10mg., and my lisinopril to 40mg. on the 1st of Febuary 2010, and I have lost a total of 11 pounds since being on them, my weight stayed steady prevous to that time.

hi im 53 with acute cronic congestive heart failure. my echocardiogram showed dilated cardiomyopathy with ejection fraction of 10% and biatrial enlargement and elevated creatine after cardiac catherization the aortic pressure was 110/77 with a mean of 93 left ventricular pressure was 110/26 descending irregularity these were not flow limiting the left circumflex coronary artery had minimal irregularities and relatively disease free and a nondominant vessel.

glybride and due to a hospital stay we were informed that he now has high pressure and he is in the beginning of kidney failure because his creatinine level was 5.2. Before we left the hospital the level came down to 4.6 and his blood pressure was down to 145/80. Now taking blood pressure medicine also but was taken off the metformin.

I have had frequent urinations and my docotor gave me a blood test which my BUN was 8.o and my urine was 300 with 1+ blood in my urine. My lower back hurts mildy but since he put me on cipro 250mg eery twelve hours x 10 days the pain have subsided. Could this mean I have something wrong with my kidney's such as kidney failure. The doctor said it was a kidney and bladder infection. What do you think. I am on synthroid 112 daily for hyperthroidism.

Life expectancy isn't something the doctors are willing to talk about when they have a patient that is suffering heart failure, as well as renal failure. I'm stage 4 heart failure, and stage 5 renal failure. I have an ICD implant, and do dialysis 6 days a week, for 2 1/2 hours at a time. I take Coreg, 12.5 mg/pm on dialysis days, along with 160 mg of lasix/pm, which mainly is used to remove excess potassium from my system, which dialysis doesn't do.

I recently was diagnosed with the above along with arryhmia and aortic and mitral valve insufficienc. I have low pressure normally so my doctor prescribed 2.5mg of lisinopril. After taking it for 5 nights I've started to experience dizziness when I get up during the night. I also wake up with a dry cough. Tuesday my blood pressure was 86/53. Is there any other treatment for this "mild" case of cardiomyopthy other than blood pressure lowering medicine?

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.

Oh you poor thing! I do know how this feels. My husband died in January of 1999, and my dog only months later. It was very very hard indeed. Kidney Failure in such a young dog could have been caused by ingestion of some kind of toxin?..... acute illness or infection of some kind?....could be an inherited weakness?

I hope you find it helpful somehow, and blessings for you and your dog - Blu Stage 3 kidney disease is one of the final stages of canine kidney disease, in which your dog will begin showing symptoms of kidney failure. Canine kidney disease occurs when, for whatever reason, your dog's kidneys are not doing their job of removing toxins from the blood efficiently. Often, by the time kidney disease reaches stage 3, kidney damage cannot be reversed.

Hi. This sounds more like acute renal poisoning to me, but even if it is standard kidney failure there's still lots that can be done. Please join our User Group (Misfits4Me explains how above). Where do you live (country and region of the country)? What are you feeding your dog (please give specifics and full details)?

You can also cluck on Groups to the right side of the page then click on Chronic Kidney failure in dogs. You may find more useful information as so many have and do deal with these issues. Is she gating sny meds for nausea? Have you tried the chicken (no skin) and rice with maybe some carrot or zucchini added? Have you tried one of the dry or canned diets for kudney probkems? You might try some canned green tripe. Some pet stores sell that now.
