januvia and renal disease

Sorry to be getting back to you after all these months. I am maintaining a stage 3 and was on a 3 month regiment of vitamin d and we also eliminated metformin. I take Amaryl now, instead.. My blood glucose was out of control but my PCP put me on Victoza. That seems to be helping with the exception of BS levels being very low in the morning. My PCP has suggested she might take me off the Amaryl and just have me take more insulin along with the Victoza and Januvia.

While in the hospital for heart related problems my doctors found that I had the D word. I refuse to accept this as I have worked so hard to avoid having the D word. I was sent home with a monitor which I refuse to use (no fear of needles just using the monitor means acceptance). I am on Januvia 50 mg and Amaryl 1mg. My doctor told me to eat 3 meals a day plus a snack at bed time. I have lived by the Atkins diet and don't eat carbs and don't care for sweets.

What is Grade 1 renal medical disease? Is there a cure through medicines and dieting?

I take (2) 500mg of metformin at breakfast and supper. 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 product of the Wilson disease gene is expressed in renal tissue, but whether the renal symptoms are primary or secondary to release of copper from the liver is unknown. Renal complications tend to be functional changes unrelated to identifiable histologic findings. Rarely, patients with Wilson disease develop renal stones and associated symptoms. Renal stones are precipitated by hypercalciuria (the condition of elevated calcium in the urine.

The medications you listed are appropriate for those with coronary artery disease, and should have little interaction with each other. Some of these medications should be uptitrated by his cardiologist to allow for the maximum dose as he tolerates them (namely, Ramipril and Metoprolol). His Plavix should continue for either several months up to 1-2 years depending on the type of stent he received at the time of his percutaneous coronary intervention (bare metal stent vs. drug-eluting).

Since renal function is also influenced by thyroid disease, changes in renal elimination of drugs which are excreted in the urine mainly as unchanged drugs have to be considered as another reason for altered drugs disposition in thyroid disease." - Drug Metabolism In Thyroid Disease - Clin Pharmacokinet. 1976;1(5):339-50.

It appears you have liver damage, and perhaps renal failure. You are fortunate to have had a remission. You must never ever have a drink again.

Hello & welcome to the forum.....Here is our largest thread on renal disease.....Maybe some of your questions will be answered within there..... http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Dogs/4th-stage-renal-failure-in-my-dog/show/425814?

I would love to have those numbers.. i have to workout like crazy and eat very little to get close to those and thats also with taking another med with the metformin. I would say something is very wrong with what they are trying to do.

The levothyroxine has a long half-life within the blood and may also be withheld for 3 to 4 days without significant changes observed. The Januvia and blood pressure meds you shouldn’t mess around with, so the experiment may not be performed completely. . While you may think the diet has nothing to do with it, but I think investigating would be better than pure recall. You could try to make a log of things she eats and again try to make changes there depending on which foods seem suspect.

By the time we noticed any syptoms we were apparently to late, they sedated her and gave her x-rays and took a blood test on Monday, we also had her to the same vet on Sat. but she gave us rimadyl and an anti-nausea medicines. The results from the blood tests came back on tuesday with a CREA level of 7.7 on one test and 10.9 on another, so they put her on IV fluids.

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'm sorry I don't know the answer to that question but I didn't want you to think that nobody is answering you. I can't remember ever seeing this discussed before and I"ve been on this forum for three years. There are some very smart people on here and I will try and flag a couple of them to get a response. There is hope honey. They are working on new drugs constantly now - they've realized just HOW MANY Americans have this disease and don't even know it.

I know he will always need extra care, but my little man wants to run and play with everyone else. He is currently on antibiotics, anti-nausea, prilosec, sub q fluids, and a renal diet. There may be more, but I'm so frazzled I can't remember right now. What can I do to increase his chances of survival/longevity?
