Many medicines can cause acute kidney injury (acute renal failure), such as: Antibiotics. These include aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, amphotericin B, bacitracin, and vancomycin. Some blood pressure medicines. One example is ACE inhibitors, such as lisinopril and ramipril. Another is angiotensin receptor blockers.
Some patients with impaired kidney function, such as narrowing of the arterial vessels in the kidneys, should not take ACE Inhibitors because they can further damage the kidneys and raise creatinine levels. Pain relievers such as motrin (ibuprofen), aspirin, and naproxen can cause side effects such as kidney failure. Because of this side effect they are listed a possible causes of increased creatinine levels. Diuretics such as furosemide (Lasix) can cause creatinine levels to increase.
