Probably nothing much wrong if you are able to do all activities normally, but get another echo check next year from a different centre.

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.

Your doctor did a good thing cilindipine will reduce protenuria but will take time to recover you need to give time for any drug.

Metoprolol telmesartan cilnidipine, 3 medicines. Probably over medication. Bp control requires discipline. Measure bp only once every month on fixed dates after resting for 10 minutes. Any other way of looking after your bp is unhealthy.

If blood pressure is not controlled after taking three or more drugs then it may be matter of concern. You should follow lifestyle measures rigorously to complement medicine. Loosing some extra kilos also part of it. Ask your docor to look for any missing factors like kidney problem or painkiller use etc.

Excellent you do not need any medicine for these 3 conditions you have because they are lifestyle issues and they are interrelated also. They never need medicines .They need education and lifestyle changes only.
All these medicines which you were taking will cause more serious diseases .Please read about the long term side effects of these drugs and you will go into more depression
Hypertension is a lifestyle disease which needs only lifestyle solution and education about the disease and...more

Dear, You have two major risk factors for heart disease, hypertension and Diabetes. In addition, if you have a Positive TMT, I would advise you to undergo an angiography, just to find out what caused positive.

You should continue 50. Check BP monthly on fixed dates after resting for ten minutes. You may require dose adjustment later. Best wishes.
