I have been taking olsertain 40mg for three years, and my recent kidney test result is 1.3 mg/dL. Since I am also experiencing an itchy feeling, do I need to get any additional tests done or take any new medications before my clinic visit?
A creatinine level of 1.3 mg/dL is only slightly above the typical normal range, so please try not to worry. This mild elevation and your itching can be discussed at your upcoming visit. I do not recommend starting any new medications or ordering extra tests on your own before then. For now, please stay well-hydrated and continue taking your olmesartan (olsertain) exactly as prescribed unless your doctor tells you otherwise. Your doctor may suggest a simple repeat blood test or a urine test at your appointment to safely monitor your kidneys.
