Can the blood pressure medication Losar, which I take for protein in my urine, cause my kidney function test numbers (creatinine) to rise?

Asked by Female, 55 · 14 days ago

It is actually quite common and expected for Losar (losartan) to cause a mild, temporary rise in your creatinine levels. This happens because the medication relaxes the blood vessels in your kidneys. While this temporarily changes your lab numbers, this action actually reduces pressure inside the kidneys, protecting them from damage and helping to lower the protein in your urine over the long term. A small increase is usually normal, but it is always a good idea to discuss these results with your doctor so they can monitor your progress and reassure you.
