Brief Answer:
pain killers and vitamin D in patient with CKD
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Pain killers can be very helpfu in treating a back pain. However if your creatinine is indeed high creatinine, it is better not to any pain killer that can act against kidney. Most of the antacids and pain killers can damage kidneys and will add further injury to already ailing kidneys.
However since pain killers have be very helpful in controlling pain, it would be worthwhile to confirm whether or not your creatinine was high.
As far as the vitamin D is concerned, you can XXXXXXX any XXXXXXX physician and you need to get the level of vitamin D before taking the supplements of vitamin D. You also should monitor the calcium and phosphorus before and after taking supplements as vitamin D metabolism gets alerted in patients with kidney disease. There can be chances of odd increase in calcium and phosphorus during the therapy with Vit D.
Hope this helps. Write back for clarifications.
