Avatar f tn My cardiologist put me on ramipril a few wks back and after 10 days ran blood tests whic came back normal. this morning I woke up with diarriah and some serious kidney pain on the right side.It doesn't hurt when I urinate or have a bowel movement although certain body movements cause it to occur. My question is can this be caused by ramipril along with my lasix and potassium with a delayed reaction or buildup?

Avatar m tn There are many, many trials of hundreds of thousands of patients over decades of research that show that both beta blockers and ACE inhibitors (like ramipril) improve left ventricular function and decrease mortality in patients exactly like yourself.
Avatar m tn these tablets are not for bp any way there for water balance, she must take ace inhibtors in kidney disease, ramipril is a good one, renal diet is essential, low salt low spice low potassium low fat, LOW PROTEIN, less oil, currys must be watery not spicy, i would limit protein to 40 grm a day or less, go and see a nephrologist, search the net for a good one,
Avatar m tn seen in erythropoietin-secreting tumors, in renal disorders such as hypernephroma and renal cysts, and in cancer of the liver". The fact you say liver and kidney function tests are completely normal I think would be encouraging signs that whatever is causing the high numbers is not affecting the numbers for those organs.
Avatar n tn Was the ramipril reduction ordered by your doctor?? Ramipril it is important to avoid cardiac remodeling. Low BP and dizziness can be due to hot weather. The other effects can be due to worsening of your HF.
Avatar f tn more and more i see ramipril 2.5 ordered to help kidney function...could you elaborate for my own knowledge please...
Avatar m tn I dont really understand the ultrasound results but it said at the bottom of the report that findings were consistent with advanced chroinc renal impairment. If anyone has heard of results like this I would really like some help.
Avatar f tn Hi Thankfully your father is above the end stage renal failure stage, theoretically. Dialysis or renal transplant is generally not necessary until 10% of kidney function is left. However these percentages are only subjective. The course of action depends on the patient’s condition, other associated problems etc. So your father’s doctor can judge this best and advice you on the course of action. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted.

Avatar n tn Dear Logan, welcome to the medhelp forum. Creatinine is an indicator of the renal function to filter fluid. It reflects the damage to the kidney’s filtration mechanism, which gets affected by longstanding hypertension or diabetes. Raised value may also indicate dehydration, increased muscle mass causing increased protein breakdown. Normal levels of creatinine in the blood are 0.6 to 1.2 mg per dl in adult males and 0.5 to 1.1 mg/dl in adult females. These are subject to laboratory variations.
Avatar f tn I am confused by the drug RAMIPRIL. The leaflet in box and details in British Formulary list WEIGHT LOSS as a side effect (I have lost 6 kilos). On the Internet there are many letters regarding weight gain but nothing about weeight loss. Why is this?
Avatar f tn Hello, If you Google for ' ramipril side effects ' or simvastatin side effects ' you will get more details. Ramipril has been indicated to cause sexual problems, but both these drugs can affect liver function and in turn affect sexual performance.Further more, statin drugs can cause muscle weakness and may lead to a drop in overall energy level.
Avatar n tn s current kidney function and renal parenchyma of 8 mm, it would be a good decision to go for conservative surgery. Though there is a small chance that he may require Nephrectomy at a later stage, Pyeloplasty would be the best treatment at this stage. Nephrectomy is typically indicated when renal parenchyma is less than 3-4 mm. So if you understand and agree that there is a small possibility that your father may require a second surgery later, you can go for a pyeloplasty now.
Avatar m tn My question is, How is the Thyroid affected by Renal Failure or impaired renal function. my friend and I are both in Nuclear Medicine, we have some understanding of the basics but would like a more technical yet clearer understanding. I apologize if this should have been posted in the kidney forum.
Avatar f tn I was put on Ramipril 5mg as my BP was high. Wondering how long it takes to work. My pulse is low a 59 but my BP is still high. Is this normal? Im worried if they put the dose up my pulse will go even lower.
Avatar n tn Chronic kidney disease (CKD), also known as chronic renal disease, is a progressive loss in renal function over a period of months or years. The symptoms of worsening kidney function are unspecific, and might include feeling generally unwell and experiencing a reduced appetite.
544430 tn?1283712658 I am not familiar with Ramipril, so, unfortunately, can't speak to that. I've read posts here where people take a specific type of levothyroxine and have side effects from the dyes in the pill, so that's a possibility. However, I think further work up is probably warranted.
Avatar m tn Best thing you can do to help your kidney function is to get your blood sugars down to normal (ie. 80-120 range, or as close to this as you can safely manage). I don't know of any OTC meds to helps. Maybe a good moisturizer will help a little. You can also ask the pharmacist to recommend. You can also ask the pharmacist about alternative meds to ramopril if this is what you are reacting to.
Avatar n tn The goals of pretransplantation HCV therapy are to decrease the risk for progression of HCV-associated liver disease, stabilize renal function in patients with HCV-related glomerulopathy, and prevent development of HCV-associated renal disease after transplantation.
Avatar m tn By "AGE" I'm assuming you mean a persons age in years. I don't believe age has anything to do with Janumet's "effectiveness" but age has a larger role with renal function. To make it clear for other readers, Janumet is combination of two drugs; Sitagiptin and Metformin. This a brief from the Merck web site - makers of Janumet - Section 8.5 - Geriatric Use JANUMET.
1020296 tn?1251475359 doctor prescribed some medicines which includes baclofen, ramipril, clopidogrel,amolodipine , atenolol, atorvastatin and escitolopram. after taking medicines her pulse rate has gone to 45-50 range and blood pressure is still 160/120. I'd like to ask why pulse rate is going low..is it due to side effect of medicines..
Avatar m tn I had an exercise stress test, which came back normal, and an echocardiogram. Overall the echo was fine. My EF was 53% and and the summary said I had sinus tachycardia. In addition, the results stated that I have borderline global hypokinesis. The size of my left ventricle is normal, but it isn't moving optimally (left ventricular systolic function is borderline reduced). I have always had high blood pressure readings, generally over 130 and in the upper 80s, sometimes over 140.
Avatar n tn What is Grade 1 renal medical disease? Is there a cure through medicines and dieting?
335873 tn?1264913469 I would be very aggressive with your blood pressure control. You should probably try the ramipril or an alternative ace inhibitor and have your kidney function monitored to look for problems. You could also consider being on an ARB or a diuteric.
Avatar n tn Therapy with trazodone should be administered cautiously in patients with significantly impaired renal or hepatic function. Dosage adjustments may be necessary.
