Health

I am aged 77 ( M ) Stent fixed in LAD one year before. Cr 1.4,Sugar F-120 PP-160, BP- 150/65 No protein, Glucose, Blood cells in urine. Taking Linagliptin M 5/500, Metoprolol 25 mg, Dapagliflosine 5, Ecosprine 75, Nodosis 500, Nefrosave 500 per day each. Ticagrelor 90 twice a day. Valuable advice from you requested Regards Thiagarajan

Ans: Mr Thaiagrajan,
based upon your information, it seems that you have Chronic Kidney disease CKD 3a. Some of the medicines are helpful in that. However, I would advise that your Dapagliflozin could be increased to maximum dose of 10 mg (currently, you are using only half of the dose). Dapa which is a SGLT2i category of medicines are proven to benefit in kidney and heart issues as well.
Please discuss with your diabetologist and get your medications reviewed.
Also, please get Urine Albumin Creatinine ratio done which would provide information on microalbuminuria.

Best wishes
