Interstitial Nephritis - linked to Prilosec and furosemide

0 Recommendations

before my labs where my proteins were @ 1 about two weeks prior I stopped taking my prilosec. I have since stopped taking furosemide (I don't really need it anymore and it never really helped me anyway).

I think the prilosec may have contributed to my kidney's not healing, it can cause inflammation in the tubules. http://ndt.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/15/9/1450

I did not even think to not take any nephro toxic drugs. My personal theory is that I have hypersensitive kidney's and I am going to stay away from any 'nephro toxic' drugs as much as possible (unless life or death!). I even stopped taking fosomax, I am down to 5mg of pred and am tapering even further down to 2.5mg (I still take calcium and vit D).

Anyhow, who knows if this means anything or not. I tend to think that is why I had a huge jump from 7.5 to 1 b/c I stopped taking 'nephro toxic' drugs.

Just a theory and that seems to be all this darn disease has to go on most of the time, all trial and error.

what is your dosage of tekura and is it a bp med.
how is the celcept woking for you


thanks Eva G

Hi Eva,

I take 300mg tekturna 1xday in the am and yes it is a bp drug, my neph says that it goes after the kidney's in a different way. I am not on cellcept and hope I can get into remission w/tekturna. My neph also has one other patient who is doing well w/tekturna. You can google it.

Let me know if you end up trying it, how it works out for you!

thanks,and keep up the good work.
