I am 59 years old having ckd with hypertension. My latest test reports says that my s.creatinine - 0.76,bl. Urea-57, haemoglobin - 8.10, serum potassium-4.9 and serum sodium-141 and urine test were as follows. Albumin - 4+ and rbc-10-12 sugar - nil crystal- nil casts - nil pus cell - 0-2 and epithelial cells-nil. My blood pressure remains 135/80 always. I measure it every 4 hours at home but it remains in the same range 130-35/75-80. I am prescribed following medicines 1. Tablet cilnidipine 10 mg once daily 2. Tablet zytanix 2.5 mg twice daily 3. Tab. Dytor 20 mg twice daily. 5. Tablet atorva-e 10+10 mg once daily but I am depressed with the increasing proteinuria even after treatment from calcium channel blocker and diuretics combination. Two months before my albumin in urine was - + only but now its 4+. Earlier I was taking azilsartan 80 mg + amlodipine 5 mg but these drugs caused hyperkalemia so my doctor stopped it as my serum k was 6.4. He switched me to cilnidipine but since then my urine albumin has increased but bp control is better than azilsartan + amlodipine combo. So my question is does cilnidipine controls proteinuria or not? Do I need arb or acei class for controlling proteinuria or this 4th gen ccb (cilnidipine) will work for it. My doctor is not in favour of arb and acei class as it may cause hyperkalemia again. So please suggest should I continue with cilnidipine. If yes please suggest best medicine to bring down the urine albumin to minimum levels. Please help as I am very much depressed after seeing my results .also severe edema is there due to protein loss. Please help. I beg.

You need to review your case with your doctor (for a through clinical evaluation and some tests) to help manage your high BP. It needs to be analysed with a fresh perspective. Please try to change your lifestyle (add Yoga into daily routine) which can help natural healing. You can also take Homeopathy which can help to restore harmony. You can contact me for a private consultation with all the previous and present reports.

Multivitamins are not replacements for medications. Agreed that by diet and lifestyle modifications, you can reduce your BP to some extent. But if your BP still remains high you need to take your medicines. At 144/90 I may ask you to continue with diet and lifestyle routines for some more time. But you have to maintain strict diet and regular healthy lifestyle. But if your BP still remains high then you have to take your BP meds. At the same time you need to rule out certain underlying condition...more

Hypertension is a lifestyle disease which needs only lifestyle changes. No medicine is ever needed if your doctor treats the root cause. BP medicines can cause complications you should be aware of it. Ask your treating doctor and read about it to avoid new complications. What you are having now is a side effect of the medicine Doctors lack nutrition knowledge, have vested interests, do incomplete lab testing and do not give adequate dietary and lifestyle advice.

Advance age, hb-9.5gm. I think nutrition is not as need of the patient than the adverse effect sodium valproate & cilnidipine in old age. Frequent and regular diet then after one week reduce the dose of said medicine slowly.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
It is good to see that both BP and blood glucose are fairly well controlled. Increase in microalbuminuria and creatinine suggests that kidney are getting affected mostly due to diabetes.
One of the group of drugs recommended for hypertension with diabetes is ACE-Inhibitors like Lisinopril, Enalepri or ARBs like Losartan, Telmisartan or Olmesartan etc. Thanks.
