Elevated Potassium & Creatinine. CT Contrast Induced ARF, Diabetic, UTI. Taken Merophen, Imipenem For UTI, Taking Moxcent & Cilacar For BP. What Caused High Potassium?
Thanks for your query.
Given your father's age, a creatinine level of 1.5 is high. It is extremely likely that he had an underlying chronic kidney disease in November itself. The contrast studies and UTI) could have possibly worsened his kidney function.
There will be fluctuations in his creatinine depending on his diet, sugar levels and control of blood pressure.
The two drugs that you have mentioned are not Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. However, other factors that could have been possibly contributing to his high potassium levels could include fruits, juices, dry fruits, low sodium salt etc.
He may also benefit from a long term low dose (3 to 6 months) suppressive course of antibiotics for recurrent UTI. I would suggest you talk to his treating physician about the same.
I hope I have answered your query. I shall be available for follow up queries.
