Hi, I was recently diagnosed for Coronary Artery Disease. Found 3 narrowing in my left and right ventricles of the heart. On 9th of March I did an Angiogram and this was found out. Before the Angiogram, they took my blood and found that my Creatinine levels were 87. They then put in on several meds. Aspirin 100mg (Blood Thinner), Astorvastatin 60mg (Cholesterol), Lisinopril 2.5mg (Blood Pressure), Ezetimibe 10mg (Cholesterol), Bisoprolol 1.25mg (Blood Pressure) and Frusemide 40mg (Edema).
Fast forward 1 week to 15 March, I took another blood test to prepare for a stent op and they found that my Creatinine went up to 127 with eGFR at 53. Doctor said that it could be dehydration as I did not take take too much water due to the edema. Maybe less than 1 liter per day. So I hydrated and the next day took another blood test. Results were 126 with eGFR 58. My doc asked for another blood test 2 days later. Results were 115 with eGFR 59.
My question, is this a good sign? When should I take another test? With borderline eGFR, is it safe to do a stent op? Especially using the dye? Are the meds causing my Creatinine levels to go up? After hydrating for 3 days and Creatinine drops to 115 from 127. Is this normal or should it drop more?
Any feedback will be helpful. Thanks again in advance.
