Nephrologist,  's  Response
Dear Patient,

there are some report on increased serum creatinine taking glicazide. However, the mechanism is unknown. May be only an immuno-allergic mechanism as often happens in interstitial renal diseases. I would try to hold the medication and come back to insulin for a while (1 month) in order to observe if kidney function goes back to normal. How much was it elevated compared with the baseline? Do you have a nephrologist? Let me know
