Hi,
Co aprovel( ibrisartan + hydrochlorthiazide ) is a proven medication for IgA Nephropathy and hypertension, but unfortunately can raise the creatiinine in some cases .Upto 30% increase in creatinine is acceptable ,as in your case there is significant rise in creatinine it is worthwhile to repeat creatinine and if there is further rise, it is better to withold the medication after consulting with your treating physician.
