Common Questions and Answers about Sitagliptin and kidney

Of the total number of subjects [N=3884] in Phase II and III clinical studies of Sitagliptin, 725 patients were 65 years and over, while 61 patients were 75 years and older. No overall differences in safety or effectiveness were observed between subjects 65 years and over and younger subjects. While this and other clinical experience have not identified differences in responses between the elderly and younger patients, greater sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

I haven't had kidney trouble. However, hepatitis C can be associated with certain kinds of glomerulonephritis. Ribavirin cannot be removed by the kidney so treatment can be dangerous for a kidney patient as the ribavirin builds up in that organ. Patients with kidney disease need to be closely monitored by their nephrologist and hepatologist.
My husband just had his valve replaced and his creatine levels are high as well as his BUN. His RBC is low. He had to stay in hospital an extra day because of his creatine. He is home now and had his blood work done with Cardiologist and it showed his creatine to be 1.57. His cardiac surgeon was concerned going into surgery about his right kidney because of his kidney function. He has had kidney stones in past and has had problems since with it.
I'll be honest with you in saying that the technical info you provided in your question sounds to me like that if you have a problem it probably is a kidney problem more so than a kidney stone problem. I'm not a physician though and only know about kidney stones since I have suffered with them for well over 30 years and well over 30 plus stones. I hope you get the answers you are seeking and I would suggest asking a physician who would know for sure.
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.
ve seen in teh past 20 years changes my BP medication - to no avail - but has never mentioned kidney tests. How would I know if I have a kidney problem? Would it show up in standard blood work/physical? Or does it require special tests. It really doesn't matter, since I no longer have health insurance and probably couldn't afford the tests anyway. But it would be nice to know should I win the lottery.
Is there anything I can do to improve my kidney health? I don't eat salt.
Cystic masses of the kidney when it does not present with symptoms may be monitored yearly through CT scans and may not need immediate intervention. However, if the mass appears to be complex and certain characteristics like calcifications are present, then you may need to have this assessed further.
Was a CT scan done? What did it say?
I wonder if anybody else has experienced diarrhea with kidney stones? I have had upwards of 40 kidney stones in the past four years but somehow still have no answers as to why my body is producing these or how to relieve them. And i never fail to turn up new symptoms or troubles. I have been having dark urine and a lot of kidney pain lately and I'm sure I have another stone working its way out of my kidney...
Hi,
Are there other symptoms present? A kidney stone is a solid mass made up of tiny crystals which may present as abdominal pain, blood in the urine, chills, excess urination at night, fever, flank pain or back pain, painful urination or urinary frequency/urgency. Abdominal CT scan, xrays or ultrasound of the kidneys will confirm the diagnosis of kidney stones.
Menstruation problems are hormone and stress related.
Cr exceeds 20, this is predictive of prerenal injury (kidney disease caused by change in the blood supply to the kidney). Kidney disease or blockage of the flow of urine from your kidney causes both BUN and creatinine levels to rise.
The stages of CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) are mainly based on measured or estimated GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). There are five stages but kidney function is normal in Stage 1, and minimally reduced in Stage 2.
The blood urea nitrogen or BUN test is primarily used, along with the creatinine test, to evaluate kidney function. Those with advanced cirrhosis may have an impact on kidney function as their liver function progressively fails. This is why the creatinine level is one the the blood tests that make up the MELD score that determines the need for liver transplantation.
Typically when a patient experiences Hepatorenal Syndrome as a result of cirrhosis a HIGH creatinine level is seen.
I had a stone that blocked my kidney and even after blasting would not come out without being scooped out. This was in my left kidney. Kidneys were both checked out thoroughly for damage and other stones - neither of which was found. Questions are...Since it has been two months and I haven't passed any stones are they likely to just stay put? If the larger one gets stuck after I have my surgery will they be able to go in and get it out without cutting me or screwing up the TVT?
