Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome.
Thank you for writing in.
I understand and respect your concern for your father, and shall try my best to help you with as much information as required.
I have gone through all the details of your query, and would like to inform you that both concor and cilacar usually do not have any renal ill-effects that can result in a rise in your father's creatinine levels. So the answer to your query would be no, cilacar and concor cannot contribute to a rise in creatinine.
But, both dytor and febutaz can result in renal complications that are seen in the form of a rise in creatinine levels. Usually creatinine levels slowly return back to normal on discontinuation of these medications.
But it is best to visit your father's doctor to have a check on his creatinine levels, and also to help with control of his creatinine levels with the help of diet, exercise and medication (eg. ketosteril); and to help with replacement of the medications that could have caused such a presentation or even worsen it.
I hope this information helps you. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications.
Best wishes.
