Hi Dr. John I am interesting on your advice that the furosemide can cause risk of acute renal failure. I started using furosemide early 2020 from my creatinine level 1.7 after using for one year, now my creatinine level is increased to 3.5. I have told my dr. but the dr. is increasing more dose of furosemide. should I stop using furosemide? My present Hba1C is 8.9. Appreciate for your advice. thank

With a rising creatinine, you & your Doctor need to figure out why the renal parameters are rising.I am sure you Doctor would have done some preliminary work up including looking at your complete blood count, your metabolic profile as well as urine analysis.Given that rise microalbumin in your Kidney should be checked as well as Ultrasound of your kidneys Your Doctor should check your Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio .Long -standing diabetes and hypertension commonly lead to CKD. Since I am not your Doctor I won't be able to give you advice on specific medications as I am not privy to your medication list and medical history.Lasix can increase your renal parameters and cause dehydration, however, if your rising creatinine is due to congestive heart failure for example Lasix can be used.To know the difference on when to use it requires a physical examination as well.

I've been on Lasix for venous insufficiency for a few years. I've never heard that you shouldn't be on it for CVI !
@ThinkYourHealth

Management of chronic venous insufficiency usually entails the following: - Initial treatment for most patients is conservative and includes limb elevation, exercise, and compression therapy. With progressive disease and with patients with persistent symptoms and signs of venous disease after a period of nonoperative management and documented superficial venous reflux as a source of their symptoms are candidates for superficial venous ablation. Lasix can be used off label to help with localized edema if the other treatment modalities are not helping, however should not be first choice and does not constitute standard of care.Here is a study if you are interested: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21536172/

Yes 20mg. I don't have edema. Echo just showed pericardium fluid of 0.85 cm. I don't have any symptoms yet but with the side effects of this drug, I am scared to continue. My blood work is okay. I noticed a decrease in my blood pressure since I started taking the drug. 87/54. It was during regular check up I found out I was having the pericardial disease.

Yes Lasix can be used to treat pulmonary edema.Typically in acute interventions a higher dose is used to treat the underlying problem.Regarding the second question there are no many variables to give an answer.Generally, Lasix can, especially at higher doses cause renal insufficiency however it would also depend on the stage of CKD.
