Telma 20 mg
My creatinine is set between 2.1 to 2.3 mgdl and vary in this figure but I have high protein creatinine ratio 5.19 where protein is 94 mgdl and creatinine in urine around 18 mgdl but after taking telma 20 mg for 15 days my creatinine jump to 2.57 mgdl and protein 116 mgdl creatinine in urine 27.93 mgdl and ratio is 4.19
Is this happening because of telma 20 mg??

Hi
Slight increase in creatinine (dip in eGFR) is expected when one is started on Telmisartan. Upto 30% increase is acceptable as long as potassium is within normal limits.
