Metformin and Kidney Function:
- Metformin is used cautiously in those with impaired kidney function due to the risk of lactic acidosis. It doesn't directly increase creatinine but kidney issues can.
Sitagliptin:
- Generally safe for kidneys, but dose adjustments are necessary if kidney function declines.
Bypass Surgery Impact:
- Surgery can affect kidney function, potentially raising creatinine levels.
Insulin:
- Does not raise creatinine levels.
Recommendation:
- Increased creatinine is likely due to surgery's impact on kidneys, not Janumet. Monitor kidney function closely and consult your cardiologist or nephrologist for medication adjustments.
