Hello welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Actually losakind tab can raise serum Creat temporarily. So my advice is ask your doctor whether he can stop it gradually. You just repeat your S. Creat every monthly and see how is the improvement.
If creatinine is decreasing then don't restart losakind tablet.
The interesting fact is that same medicine is drug
of choice in already established kidney damage. So if report is not improving after stoppage of the medicine then restart losakind.
Avoid any kind of pain killers. Drink plenty of waters.
There are medicines which can prevent further kidney damage. Ask your doctor about them.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
