Increase in Creatinine Due to Use of Fenofibrate


Hypothyroid patients have increased cholesterol and tryglycerides. To manage this lipids problem, both statins and fenofibrates are used.

Nephrologie. 1999;20(1):41-4.

Fenofibrate increases blood creatinine, but does not change the glomerular filtration rate in patients with mild renal insufficiency

Fenofibrate increases creatininemia by increasing metabolic production of creatinine.

The fenofibrate can give an increased creatinine reading. It is reversible.
