Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
This means his kidney function is impaired.
It is commonly a consequence of Diabetes and/or Hypertension.
If the change was sudden after angioplasty, contrast induced Nephropathy can be contributory.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

most probably at time of angioplasty , your husband was in renal dysfunction and contrast used in angioplasty leads to contrast nephropathy ( other risk factor was diabetic) which leads to renal failure
losar and metformin are contraindicated in creatinine 8.9
your husband are in renal failure and need dialysis
consult with nephrologist for further management.
