Yes, the medications you take have the potential to affect your creatinine levels, but whether this will be a problem depends on your individual body's response. Monitoring and regular consultation with your doctor is the best way to make sure everything is going safely.
Jardiance (empagliflozin) is an SGLT2 inhibitor drug that is mainly used to treat type 2 diabetes and heart failure. It can increase the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys, which in turn can affect kidney function and creatinine levels.

Entresto is a combination of sacubitril and valsartan used to treat heart failure. Valsartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) that can affect the kidneys. Drugs in this group can sometimes cause an increase in creatinine levels. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/90370/entresto-24-mg-26-mg-tabletki-powlekane/apteki
Diuretics are designed to increase urine output, which can also affect kidney function and creatinine levels.
Therefore, it is important that your doctor closely monitors creatinine levels in patients taking these medicines at the same time and adjusts the dosage as necessary. Patients should also have regular blood tests to check their kidney function.
