Brief Answer:
Explained

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Premarin does not lower kidney function.

Both diabetes and hypertension are contributory factors towards affecting renal function, adversely.

Creatinine is a reliable indicator of kidney function. Elevated levels of creatinine signifies impaired kidney function.

Please state your creatinine and BUN levels to determine whether the kidney function is impaired.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
